@cwebber @Gargron @cj Is there a concrete pre-existing example of a programming environment you can port from language to language, or is this a brand new concept? (As an amateur computer historian I have to assume *everything* has been done)

@darius @cwebber @Gargron SWIG is the cheaty way to make bindings between languages.

@darius @gargron @cj I am inventing almost no new concepts. The core ideas are almost all taken from 25 year old technology.

The situtation for ocaps vs ACLs/origin-oriented programming is similar to the situation with functional programming: the ideas that are becoming popular today are mostly not new but were extremely obscure until enough people had reason (or interest) to explore them.
