I see two problems with an approach like this: 1) it's complicated: consider that Lua was designed in the first place to be extremely simple to be embedded in a C program, and also simple to exchange data to and from the host program. The *only* problem I found was the interaction with the OCaml GC which of course is not a problem in C; 2) can the Lua program, statically translated into OCaml, be loaded and reloaded at run time? I need a scripting language to give a user a configuration/simple plugin language to be loaded and executed at runtime, and Lua is ideal because it's trivial to sandbox it. -- Paolo ⠠⠵ _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
