> Yaegi and Umka are two different things.

From the looks of it not really. They're language implementations designed for embedded use. The only difference in design is that Umka is in C and Yaegi is in Go.

But yes it's true that it's easier to call into C libraries than it is to call into Go libraries. But you can call into Go libraries from other languages.

Yes. But it’s far from “embedded”. You can compile golang to a shared library. But that’s still far from “embedded”. Hence my question: how practical is it, really.
