Can someone point me in the right direction to the best place to start learning about gluing dif. programming languages 2gether?

Question

Where should I begin to learn how to glue programming languages together? I know they have stuff like Cython and JPython etc but I am also wondering if there is an excellent source where they go through the basics behind those engines and educate you on the technicalities involved and possibly which ones go together the best for certain applications etc.

Answer 1

It largely depends on the level of compatibility offered by the languages you wish to "glue" together. E.g.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages

Also look at source-to-source compilation, and language binding.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_binding

This threads shows a multitude of ways in which two languages (or rather the product or components of two languages) can talk to each other.
