Title
Unipycation: a case study in cross-language tracing
Abstract
Language composition approaches have traditionally suffered from poor performance. In this paper we hypothesise that meta-tracing provides a means to compose independent language interpreters while retaining the performance levels of each. To study this approach, we compose Python and Prolog interpreters to form Unipycation. We present a case study of its use and a suite of micro-benchmarks which give us some understanding of its cross-language performance.
