Contribution

It introduces ideas for CLR interoperability in a Pi-based language, highlighting desirable constructs from a programmer's perspective.

Findings

Proposes new language constructs for better CLR interoperability

Analyzes programmer needs for multi-language integration

Suggests design principles for Pi-based language in .NET

Abstract

Interoperability is the ability of a programming language to work with systems based on different languages and paradigms. These days, many widely used high-level language impementations provide access to external functionalities. In this paper, we present some ideas on CLR interoperability focusing on the kind of constructs desirable by a programmer to this regard.
