First of all sorry if this is a stupid question :)

I experimented with MoI scripting lately and got quite familiar with it. However I mostly enjoy writing in C/C++ (in particular C and SDL), and I'm not too comfortable with Javascript/HTML, the DOM, etc.
So I was wondering if I could somehow interface with MoI by compiling C code with emscripten.
Is it even possible? I guess the bare minimum would be that MoI's webkit version support's wasm, and even then, how would one have access to classes and functions of MoI's javascript API, from within a C/C++ program?

Hi immortalx, the version of WebKit currently used by MoI predates wasm, so I don't think that this approach would work.

Thanks again Michael!
Just out of curiosity, if we were in a version of webkit that supported asm would it then be possible to interface with MoI like I think it would?
And do you think there would be any advantages (Speed? Usage of existing C libraries, like how Max Smirnov has integrated litegraph in NodeEditor?), other than just scripting in another language?

Hi immortalx, sorry I don't really know. I haven't spent any time working with emscripten before. I guess it gets converted into JavaScript essentially so I would guess it could access the same things as JS.

But typically programs have a different interface for a C/C++ API than the script one. The main advantage is that compiled C code is generally faster for intensive number crunching operations and can use other C/C++ libraries (and native OS APIs) directly.

I think that litegraph is made with all JavaScript, it was designed to run inside a web browser. So there wasn't any different language barrier to deal with.

OK Thank you very much.
