Peter C. and I are working hard to give PCB an interface

talk to it quickly and easily.
Before even thinking about what library to use, we must first
decide what communication we want to accomplish
That interface should be designed around what we want on a high
level, almost without regard for the underlying library. In
time, it could even support multiple libraries, with almost no
additional effort.
another kind of generic go between for communication is a web server.
webservers have security measures, can act like a virtual network even if on
just one machine. The interprocess circuit design program communications could
all go through a web page. That page could be set up to do the required polling
to handle sequences programs we're interested in would generate, such as when
layout has a capacitance property attached to a trace, trigger a change to the
schematic wire involved -- back annotate it. And similarly for sims and schematics.
