Howdy, You can embed Parrot inside of a C or C++ application. It can be any language, actually (it works with FORTRAN), but we have the best docs for C and C++. I have embedded Parrot inside of PostgreSQL (PL/Parrot [0]), but that uses the old interface [1]. The new interface [2] is infinitely better, but has not been heavily used. But it was designed very well by Whiteknight, so it is high quality.
You can also call out to C/C++ libraries from parrot via "dlopen" and cousins via the Native Call Interface (NCI) substem of Parrot [3]. Which of those things do you want to do, or possibly both?
