I may be misuderstanding the intent here, but here it goes. If the main idea is to be able to call functions that are written in Julia or other languages, I think an effort to create an LLVM backend for Cython would go a long way towards inter-language connections as the one discussed here. It sho

But I hadn't thought about low-level Python/Cython <-> Julia integration. That sounds very interesting. I wonder if Jython could give any insight into to the tight inte

Just heard about the Julia language and wanted to make sure it's on everybody's radar: http://julialang.org It's the first really decent language designed for scientists. Seems impressive to me, there's a few Cython features: - Dynamic typing with optional static types - Call C directly A
