I am interested in writing an extension to Libre Office, particularly Calc.
I would like to do it in a functional language.
My favourite is Standard ML and it is quite portable.
How much work, i.e. how many lines of code would it be to write an
interface for ML/LibreOffice?
Where in the Libre Office source tree I can find the glue code for
various extension languages?
There was a Google Summer of Code project in 2015 doing a UNO Haskell
binding. See
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/GSoC/Ideas&oldid=121170#Haskell_UNO_Language_Binding>
for high-level code pointers. See
<https://github.com/jorgecunhamendes/haskell-uno-binding> for the
results (though still quite rough).
There is still an open GSoC project for a UNO Rust binding,
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/GSoC/Ideas#Rust_UNO_Language_Binding>.
Another option is to use Scala as it is possible to write extensions in
Java and Scala can use Java libraries.
Did anybody write a Libre Office extension in Scala?
Not that I know of.
