Project Detroit: From Foreign Libraries to Foreign Language Runtimes
Interacting with foreign libraries from Java has never been easier, thanks to the Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API. But interacting with entire foreign language runtimes, like JavaScript or Python, remains hard. Project Detroit paves a new way forward: instead of implementing bespoke language runtimes from scratch, it leverages FFM to embed industry-standard native runtimes like V8 and CPython in the safety and comfort of your Java application.
