Sorry. I'm unemployed through disability, have lots of time, and I'm
just generally updating my skills and learning new stuff.

I'm afraid I'm still mostly C++ etc. Not saying I like C++ exactly,
but... well... even my own personal library has probably 50,000+ lines
of every-day-use code and several code generators, not to mention the
more specialised stuff.

That said, interop is usually easier these days.
