/**
 * This package provides inter-operability between different
 * {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.TruffleLanguage Truffle languages}.
 * <p>
 * Languages can exchange primitive Java type wrapper objects (e.g., {@link java.lang.Integer},
 * {@link java.lang.Double}, {@link java.lang.String}, etc) as well as any type
 * implementing {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject}. Foreign objects are
 * precisely those implementing {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject}.
 * <p>
 * To use a {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.TruffleObject} from a different language,
 * you need to ask the language to build appropriate AST for a given
 * {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.Message} with
 * {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.Message#createNode}. The message can then
 * be executed with {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.interop.ForeignAccess#execute}.
