Idris 2 is designed to support multiple code generators. The default target is
|
||
|
|
Chez Scheme, with a Racket code generator also supported. However, the
|
||
|
|
intention is, as with Idris 1, to support multiple targets on multiple platforms,
|
||
|
|
including e.g. JavaScript, JVM, .NET, and others yet to be invented.
|
||
|
|
This makes the design of a foreign function interface (FFI), which calls
|
||
|
|
functions in other languages, a little challenging, since ideally it will
|
||
|
|
support all possible targets!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To this end, the Idris 2 FFI aims to be flexible and adaptable, while still
|
||
|
|
supporting most common requirements without too much need for "glue" code in
|
||
|
|
the foreign language.
