I must be missing something. You're not. I worked on a heavy duty C++ telco project and that's exactly what they did. The management and visual monitoring code was Java and connected to the embedded C++ engine via Corba. However this kind of interfacing isn't really that good for lower level interoperability. For example adding new primitive operations to a programming system still seems to require an FFI approach -- you don't really expect such primitives to reach across network layers -- more likely you'd be using them to *define* networking layers :) . -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
