They say that it comes as a shared library, so it might work to wrap it in Cython. However, it's not clear to me how you would call into Julia code from C code. They only emphasise the other direction, as seems to be usual for language implementations that try to advertise the beauties of their JIT compiler and their cool "we can call C" features. So it's hard to tell how much work it would be or how efficient it could become to call a wrapped Julia function efficiently based on a CEP1000 signature ID. At least the signature of the Julia function can easily be analysed, it seams. That's pretty cool already.
