Mixing programming languages
summary
Claims a working MetaCall Core polyglot runtime that lets Node import and call other languages with no glue code, demonstrates a cross-language require of Python functions, passing callbacks and promises across runtimes, and a machine‑learning demo that returns similar articles (one URL initially fails then the second succeeds). Explains concrete internals: node loader, trampoline bootstrap to embed V8/libuv, cherow discovery of function signatures, lazy loaders, and a MetaCall-based function‑as‑a‑service that auto‑exposes library functions as HTTP endpoints.
