GSoC idea: More AI interfaces

Why

To attract AI developers who prefer languages that currently don't have bindings.

Background

The Spring engine's AI interface supports bindings for multiple languages, currently legacy C++, C and java are supported.

Bindings for more languages and/or virtual machines should be added to allow broader AI developing audience (for example: Ruby, Perl, JavaScript, Python, D, Go, Mono, LLVM, Parrot).

Required skills

  • Understanding of the Spring AI interface
  • knowledge of C
  • Understanding of the target language/virtual machine

Difficulty

Estimated: medium

The current C AI interface has been structured so it acts as a bridge between the engine and the various AI language wrappers, since automatic wrapper generators have been tried in the past and found infeasible, manual creation is necessary.
