Abstract
Embodiments of the present application may simplify an integration of statically typed and dynamically typed languages by automatically generating an implementation of a statically typed native interface for a given set of dynamically typed functions. In an embodiment, functions in a dynamically typed language are automatically interconnected with functions in a statically typed language. Code that bridges and/or connects a statically typed interface and a dynamically typed interface embodied in the dynamically typed source code may be automatically generated. The statically typed interface may be provided by a user. Further, an extensible set of runtime rules that determine how to convert between statically typed and dynamically typed data may be provided.
