Implementing a new Scripting Language
Implementing a new Scripting Language

Hi all,
We have an open source scripting engine named Lucee that is used primarily for web application -- https://github.com/lucee/Lucee -- it is written in Java and is usually run as a servlet, but can be accessed in other ways (like JSR-223).
You can think of the language as a combination of PHP and Javascript, albeit much simpler and more intuitive IMHO.
I was wondering how difficult it would be to implement a Postgres extension that will act as a wrapper around it and will allow to write functions in that language?
I am a Java developer myself and have a very limited knowledge of C/C++, but if someone can point me in the right direction of whatever documentation there is on the subject -- that would be great.
Thanks,

are there any docs as to how to implement a new scripting language? ;)

I am not sure you would be able to bind high performance java runtimeyes, that's what I had in mind. I wasn't thinking of an embedded JRE. TBH I didn't think there were any of those until your email.
with the backend. There are no that many JREs, and not much of them
are good at "in-backend" operation.
Thus your question boils down to 2 possibilities:
1) You execute Lucee in some JRE that runs in the backend (frankly
speaking, I doubt it is a good way to go)
thanks,
