erlang ffi this summer?

[Joel Reymont]

I apologize if this has been visited recently but what's the status on  
the Erlang FFI EEP? Last thing I heard it was going to be out this  
spring.

        Thanks, Joel

Any word on this?  FFI seems to be a great idea that's even been
implemented as a set of independent patches, but there isn't much
discussion on it.  Is FFI in the pipeline?

Agreed FFI would be a great addition, any info on it's status would be
appreciated.

Unfortunatelly, my understanding is, that EEP7 (FFI) will never accepted into OTP.
The OTP team working on alternative solution "linked-in BIFs", which will be similar to Java JNI.
My options now: either stick with R11B-5 patched with FFI or just implement custom BIFs in R13B-1.

I will quote Joel "...you can even load external libraries, like C libraries, but that's world of pain basically at the moment..."

For me this moment looks like forever :-(
