I want to learn and play around with Erlang by making a library to call from the Unreal Engine. Is there a way built into Erlang to use C or C++ as a shallow wrapper and do most of my code in Erlang? I've found C nodes and native implemented functions, but those both go the wrong direction. I think I could do it with pipes in C nodes but I'd rather a different path.

If that has to be done I think that'll still be manageable. I could just start the VM in an init C function and close it on exit or UE crash.

I looked into it further, for Unreal 3 at least, the only way I saw it attempted was be running Unreal from the vm but that leads to very poor framerate for a game. Oh well, I'll have to find some other project that allows me to both learn erlang and prove it if I want a relevant job.
