Internet Explorer had a pretty clean API for adding extra scripting languages.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoYes, the Windows Script Host. But I don't believe two languages could very effectively talk to eachother, right? Couldn't they only really interact with the native code stuff (DOM etc.), i.e. the easy part?
- rjsw 12y agoIt wasn't too difficult to add an interface to COM from a new language, that seemed the easiest way to call "out" to something else.
- tracker1 12y agoAnd in practice, that separation layer lead to objects tied together across COM boundaries, and severe memory leaks for any significant applications.
