		<description>Ali:

I don&#039;t think it would be all that easy to call functions that are in other languages.  Adding support for Python libraries would require embedding the entire Python interpreter within SoLoad, and I&#039;m not even sure if that sort of thing would be possible with the JVM.  It&#039;s certainly possible to do that sort of thing, but the code would be different for each language supported, and the current command syntax would probably not fit other languages as well.

Thanks for pointing out the redundancy of num-args, though.  I had never really thought about it, but I see no reason that I wouldn&#039;t be able to just count the number of arguments.  It should only be about one or two lines of code to do it, actually.</description>

		<description>Nice one!

Would it be possible to extend this easily to calling functions in an arbitrary language such as Python or Java?

Also would it be possible to remove num-args from load and count the number of arg-types instead?

Anyway, good work</description>
