| Apache Clownfish |
| ================ |
| |
| The Apache Clownfish "symbiotic" object system pairs with "host" programming |
| language environments and facilitates the development of high performance |
| language extensions. |
| |
| Host language support |
| --------------------- |
| |
| Bindings for the following hosts are under development: |
| |
| * C (feature-complete) |
| * Go (experimental) |
| * Perl 5 (feature-complete) |
| * Python 3 / CPython (nascent) |
| * Ruby / MRI (nascent) |
| |
| Installation |
| ------------ |
| |
| To build and install Apache Clownfish, follow the instructions in the |
| accompanying "INSTALL" document. |

| Help wanted |
| ----------- |
| |
| The target audience for the current release of Clownfish is developers. |
| Clownfish is developed by the Apache Lucy community, where it is used to |
| provide host language bindings for the Lucy search engine library; we expect |
| that as Clownfish matures it will eventually spin off as an independent |
| project. If you would like to contribute to Clownfish, please join the [Lucy |
| developers mailing list](http://lucy.apache.org/mailing_lists). |
