Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLib in JavaScript

[Ismael G. <is...@st...>]

Luigi,

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated.

SWIG would be a great start, but for the kind of tools we're considering
building, a native port will be necessary (we need everything to run in the
client).

For previous ports to other languages, do you have an idea of how much
efforts in took (person-months)?

Thanks again for your help.
