Indeed. C++ is relatively portable too (or at the very least, can be made to hide behind a C ABI in many cases) and it seems like Rust is as well. Whereas, if you have a library written in python that you want to leverage, you're forced to include a python interpreter. This sucks.

Julia lets you run Python, R and Fortran libraries.

Only if you have a complete Python/R environment installed.

Fortran has a simple ABI. How does it run R and python libraries? Probably through an embedded Python interpreter?
