Do you support P/Invoke?

No. This language isn't running on .NET. Interop with other libraries is accomplished via C function call conventions. This goes both ways in Beef.

This is correct - P/Invoke is not required because all interop datatypes can be expressed in BeefLang, whereas C# does not allow certain types of datatypes in structs (IE: pointers to structs, statically sized arrays).
