Abstract

In an embodiment, a method of computer program compilation is presented. In this method, a compiler for a first programming language is provided. In one example, the first programming language allows a data assignment to depend on a result of a previous data assignment. Source code including a first portion written in the first programming language and a second portion written in a second programming language is accessed, with the second portion representing a data transformation from a first data structure accessible in the first portion to a second data structure accessible in the first portion. In one example, the second programming language prevents a data assignment that depends on a result of a previous data assignment. The source code is compiled using the compiler to generate executable code to be executed by an engine for the first programming language, which includes an interpretation engine to interpret the second portion.
