hmm how can I reuse this useful Go library in python... Oh I can't.. hmm and how can I reuse this useful java library in php ? Oh I can't. Oh and which of the programming languages you mentioned can and do use C libraries? All of them.

Reminds me of that coworker who thought that OpenCV was basically written in python.

I'm not claiming that there is no C or C++ out there. But it's such a nit pick when for most developers, no, their day-to-day work absolutely does not involve the creation of object files.

Sure, akshuwally, there are still C and C++ devs out there. Meanwhile a friend has just embarked upon a career as a pro COBOL developer. What of it?

Edit: Also, in the spirit of akshewally, I have just googled up this monster! My word, PHP and Java AND XML... it's like the unholy trinity of HackerNewsbane... https://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/
