Extending Ruby with CI've generally found that the APIs for bridging the gap between Perl and C are either cryptic (XS) or fragile (Inline::C). While Python is better in some ways, I still find its C API rather difficult to read. Tools such as SWIG can help alleviate this problem, but you still need to write a bunch of glue code to bridge the gap between the high-level agile languages and the low-level C code. A nice tutorial article on extending Ruby by providing access to a C library (GenX). It has been awhile since we discussed language extension mechanisms and multi-language programming, yet these techniques are quite important when building real life systems. |
