Also, I have large libraries of Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and C/C++ code. 
  Which ever language + JIT implementation I choose, I will need to port 
these libraries.  So SWIG can be used a tool for wrapping up C/C++ 
libraries?  If so, then perhaps all I need is to convert my modules and 
libraries into C/C++.  Then I can wrap in SWIG and interface using my 
choice of language + JIT compiler.

I remember reading somewhere on the Python site about a compiler in the 
workers, anyone know about that?  Guess I'll pop over to their 
newsgroup.  How about Ruby to C/C++?  I may have found one in Japanese 
but who knows.

Thanks all.
