That’s just python, and I’m only half joking.
Another idea for that would be GraalVM’s Truffle. It’s not a language, more of a universal VM, but it can actually already just eval some python code, use the resulting code from Java and pass it on to JS. It also has support for any LLVM language, so C can be invoked from/be invoked from any of the aforementioned languages. And it can even optimize across language boundaries, pretty incredible.
- elcritch 4y agoNim has an edge over Python as it can compile to C, ObjC, C++, JS. Meaning it can do native FFI in each of those. It can also compile to really fast and small WASM too. However it takes a long time to accrue enough good wrappers and bindings.
