Abstract
Herein are techniques that extend a software system to embed new guest programing languages (GPLs) that interoperate in a transparent, modular, and configurable way. In embodiments, a computer inserts an implementation of a GPL into a deployment of the system. A command registers the GPL, define subroutines for the GPL, generates a guest virtual environment, and adds a binding of a dependency to a guest module. In an embodiment, a native programing language invokes a guest programing language to cause importing intra- or inter-language dependencies. An embodiment defines a guest object that is implemented in a first GPL and accessed from a second GPL. In an embodiment, dependencies are retrieved from a virtual file system having several alternative implementation mechanisms that include: an archive file or an actual file system, and a memory buffer or a column of a database table.
