Implementation into a hosted language #242

Closed ShalokShalom closed 1 year ago

ShalokShalom commented 1 year ago

Hi there :)

Let me ask a probably out-of-place question: Can I use this library, to implement immutable data structures to a language, that is implemented in C++?

I am specifically thinking about GDScript https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/modules/gdscript/ As you can see, it is integrated as VM and as a module. Thanks a lot

Making it easy or at least feasible to integrate in language implementations is one of the goals of the library. The codebase contains examples of Scheme and Python bindings. @jeaye has also integrating it in jank. Lemme know if you have any issues with it :smile:

Also: exciting to see support into Godot, which is an amazing product! Are you aiming for it to be provided in the langauge by default, or as an external library?

ShalokShalom commented 1 year ago

Ok, I am new to C++ and programming in general. I will do my best.

I doubt it would be accepted in GDScript So I aim to make it part of a fork, together with some other changes.

The new language will be called Godette ;)

Great. Good luck!

I feel like, this is WAY over my head 😅
