Originally posted by **ghost** February 8, 2023 Is it possible? It's possible to call Java from C++ using JNI: https://www.baeldung.com/jni#2-using-objects-and-calling-java-methods-from-native-code

Note: This is about calling methods written in Objeck from C++.

Not possible, the VM runs programs not functions with programs.

Not possible, the VM runs programs not functions with programs.

Why it's possible with other languages that also run on a VM? Objeck's architecture is anything different?

Take for example: Mozilla Rhino and Java Nashorn, V8 (otherwise there would be no NodeJS and Deno), Python,... Just create a new interpreter object and you could evaluate anything you want. What make Objeck so different?

Again, Objeck executes programs, not functions. It may be possible to execute a function if there is an entry point, i.e., like Main. Please, understand I do not have time to explore all your suggestions.

It seems interesting. However, porting seems timely.
