If it's going to look like JNR's FFI that'll make me very happy. It's nicer to work with[0] than existing tools (that I've used anyway).

This is awesome, it opens up the possibility of using all sorts of JVM languages (Java, Scala, Clojure ...) for pseudo-systems type programming as well as easier interfacing with libraries.

Could this help Jython to interface with Numpy ? The JyNI project is otherwise constrained to do some pretty serious gymnastics...
