You cant compile a language meant to be interpreted.
All 'compiling' really is, is do some/a lot/huge amount of optimization at the
cost of 'compile-time'.
Take the JIT-technology for Java, is it interpreted or compiled ? Hard to tell.
What you want is a way to effectively communicate in *any* or (preferably) *all*
ways.
I am in favor of being able to bind to a DLL. Off course we would need a new
procedure which we use to define the exact
arguments and pointers/value issues. (if structures and arrays were available
btw, the pointer/value issue would be even less of
a problem)
I'm under the impression though, that object and library files are compiler
dependant and exist in many flavors, but I might be
wrong. (let's hope so)
