Of course, integration is always an option ... but not a good one in any
case, even if there is a way ... ;-)
I have seen your Pharo/Blender video. Nice work ...

I dont know anything about data sciences but this looks like the
dilema I was into. I love making 3d graphics and I love pharo. But
those two dont mix togethere. Available 3d libraries for pharo are
nowhere near my needs. As an artist and coder I use Blender and its
API. The Blender Api is not even in C so I can wrap it with
nativeboost. Its in python. So the whole thing at first seemed too
much trouble for little gain.
With the help of great pharo people I found the way to exploit Blender
via sockets I can use its python API and I can do this even using
pharo syntax. To my surpriseb it was easy, fast and simple.Not that I
have an issue coding in python. The project is WIP but so far it has
been very succesful and it can only get better.
So I can only agree with the saying "where there is a will there is a way"
Afterall combining programming languages is a very popular choice.

Why not investing into what you use now instead of abandoning
it? The “outside” solution only is better because someone
build it. If that someone would have just moved on (“I would
have done in F# but the other system was better so I moved
there”),
it would not exist.
I am investing ..... but my time is limited and if i am faster the
other road, i go the road ... stupid, or? Btw, that
is the reason, i am using Pharo and Roassal and i have never been
so fast :-)
Everything that exists is there because someone did it.
Yes ...
But strangely, most people see the world much more passive:
things are there (“ex nihilo”), to be used. Passively.

My view: The evolution of mankind is about building better tools
with/on top of existing tools ... we
have to choose the tools we use, to create our own tools. If Pharo
and its framework/libraries matches,
to the problems i have, it is perfect ... if not, i can start to
add all the missing pieces or look for better
tools ... that is the way it goes ...
