[GAP Forum] Interface with other languages

[Keshav Rao Kini]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is at all relevant, but while I am not aware of any way to compile a GAP program into an executable, the Sage project for example has built interface code which allows you to "call" GAP code from Sage, in a way - specifically it converts its own native objects into strings containing GAP expressions which represent the equivalent object in GAP, sends the code to a GAP process, waits for the output which it reads in as a string, then deciphers it back into its own native objects. It can do this for some other languages too - see http://www.sagemath.org/ .

Yours,
    Keshav

Dear Forum,

As far as I know, there is no way to compile a GAP program into an exec
file, right? And I suppose you cannot call a GAP function from another
language. Please correct me if I am wrong.
