Just FYI, I have an article in the September No Fluff, Just Stuff Magazine. It’s entitled Polyglot Programming: The Basic Nuts and Bolts and subtitled:
Wherein high talk and grandiose visions of a world where all JVM languages can coexist in peace and harmony give way to the gritty ugliness of real practice, and Gant and the JVM are thoroughly exercised.
It basically walks through an app that calls from a Java driver to a “Hello, World” impl in a variety of languages. A lot of attention is given to the build process which enables this to be done, since that’s one of the major sources of FUD around polyglot programming.
If you read this blog, you probably want to check that out.
