Ability to write extensions in other languages with a PHP "connector"
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi, I am quite new to the MediaWiki community, and would love to learn more about the options with regards to creating new MediaWiki extensions:
Specifically, is there a feature to create a non PHP extension (i.e. a C++ task or a Python script) and use some sort of PHP connector (still fleshing this thought out) to appropriately meet the API required by the MediaWiki.
I have gotten a chance to read through some documentation on developing extensions here, here, and have also look through past tasks / feature requests but haven't been able to find an answer to this.
Apologies in advance if this is a silly question and is completely unfeasible.

Hi @Nnaka1, that sounds like a question for a developer support forum (and not strictly related to MediaWiki)? Phabricator is for bug reports and feature requests. :)
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code#Python for example.

Good point, @Aklapper
Thank you for the suggestion; will move this over to a forum.
