Have a look at SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) at
http://www.swig.org/. This is a sn interface compiler which takes
interface specifications (similar to C header files) and generates the
glue beetween the Scripting languge and C functions. Supported so far
are Perl, Python, TCL and Guile.


Another way would be to embed the Java VM. As the byte code format is
public, I suppose more and more languages will support the possibility
to compile to this code.
