exposing the api to other programming languages

hey there, i hope you're doing fine.

so i wanna ask the feasibility to extend the blender api to not be only python dependent but can be used with other programming languages (lua/julia).

i have a project on analyzing images & videos => generating 3d body models in blender, the only issue i have is that it's only on python while i need it to be used with julia or lua.

Very unlikely to happen.

Supporting multiple languages is not something we're currently interested in.

Embedding another language would not just have a significant initial implementation cost, but a large ongoing maintenance overhead for the project as a whole.

As Python is the most common scripting language in graphics software, there is currently no compelling reason, besides developer preferences, to add support for other languages or move away from Python.
