Ask HN: Programming library that allows you to call libraries from any language?

3 points by toisanji 2y ago

I saw in a comment thread here a few weeks ago a library that allows you to call library functions from any programming language from any other programming language. I believe it was using WASM or some other kind of translation framework. I want to play around with it and see if it is practical. I believe the name of the software began with "d". Does anyone know it?

  no, its not that, its a whole language agnostic programming library. the code example was like this: #python code import ffi_like_interface as ffi_like jquery = ffi_like.transpile_js_library('jquery') json = jquery.call("function(args)") use_in_python(json)
