Scott, Been there as well. I remember many many many years ago talking about this exact topic with members of the community and with if I recall, there were some troubles in the way FPC generated the libraries, some linker stuff which might not be a problem these days.
It would be a wonderful feature if Rev had a comprehensive FFI so that we could use other languages besides C/C++ to extend it. Cheers andre PS: Stay tunned for some stuff I am about to release about interoperation.
