Sadly, this can't handle C extensions in either language, making it unable to port a lot of major libraries. Fun to play around with, though.

I'm a little surprised such rudimentary math made it to the front page of Hacker News (at #2 even). Maybe it's time to pick a FP language and make posts about it all day, to scare some people away?
