Has anyone got any ideas on this? I know Davide Morelli wants (eventually) to create a Lisp interpreter for PD, but I would like to hear thoughts on what the best route for a unified scripting framework for PD could be...if there can be such a thing at all?
what i'm (slowly) working on is an interface between PD and the CLR (common language runtime), also known as .NET or mono. This is a kind of bytecode assembly (related to Java bytecode) which can be targetted from different programming languages, like C#, C++/CLI, Java#, IronPython, VisualBasic, DotLisp. With the associated JIT-Compiler these portable executables can be quite fast, much faster than current Python or ruby, and they can cooperate easily, independently of the source language used.
That's wonderful. Mono is a very interesting project.
Could you clarify a bit what stage you're at with your CLR project?
Cheers,
David
