[GAP Forum] Interface with other languages

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear Bartosz, dear GAP Forum,

There are already several GAP packages that contain C parts and 
use LoadDynamicModule to load them, so probably to begin with 
you may have a look at them. In no particular order, these packages 
are: orb, linboxing, io, HAP, Gauss, FR, EDIM and Browse.

Best wishes,
Alexander
