I'm somewhat bothered that none of you are specifying which
implementations of the two languages you are discussing.  When you want
to interface two different language systems, you have to figure out
how both of them map the language structures to machine code, and
figure out the right hacks to get the information across.  In any
case, the particular solution will only be good for the two language
implementations involved.
