The native code invocation (Platform/Invoke, or P/Invoke) of C# are
pretty useful, and worth studying. But in this field quite a bit depends
on how the language you're calling from is implemented, as regards
callbacks, resource management, and so on. So a bit more idea about the
language you're creating would help people make suggestions.
