Re^2: Interaction between languages in Parrot

But... If java.lang.String is a Java Class, and I create a subclass of it in Perl6, will it be possible to use the My::String::Subclass as an argument to methods defined in Java Classes?

Maybe it's just written in the statement you quote, but I couldn't be sure just by reading it (which I made before posting here in the first time)...

It is my understand that the mechanisms to make such linkages possible are part of parrot. The big trick though is getting languages to target parrot such that it is possible. duff	[reply]

But still, if the PMC is implemented differently for each language (this is what I understood, and it actually makes sense), how is it possible for code written in different languages to communicate (using more than the native types)? I'm really lost... ;) daniel	[reply]

The implementation may vary, but the interface will largely be the same. So, for instance, fetching an array element will boil down to the same "method call" on both a PerlArray PMC and an OtherLanguageArray PMC. duff	[reply]
