    I am stuck with an application written in Python2, where porting it to Python3 is difficult – if it was just the Python language changes it wouldn't be a big issue, but a third party library we heavily rely on decided that Python2->3 would be a good opportunity to completely redesign their API. Getting the application to handle that third party API redesign is a big task and thus far nobody has had the bandwidth/pain-tolerance/etc to undertake it.

    But recently we've been finding other libraries we use need to be upgraded for various reasons, but the new versions we need to upgrade to are now Python3-only. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    Until I discovered https://github.com/justfoxing/jfx_bridge – a Python2-to-3 RPC bridge. So now the Python2 app spawns a Python3 subprocess to host some of its libraries which it accesses over RPC. Ugly as hell but for now the least worst option. My hope is we can gradually transition more and more of the app on to the Python3 side of the bridge, and maybe eventually the Python2 side (and the bridge) can be jettisoned.

    Which also led me to discover https://github.com/justfoxing/ghidra_bridge – this Python2 app is nothing to do with Ghidra (it is CPython whereas Ghidra is Jython), but I've been mucking around with Ghidra, and being able to write Python3 to control it is a better experience than Python2. I hate the 2<->3 mental context switching I'm forced into and would like as little of it as possible.

    If anyone is interested in other language support in Ghidra, you should definitely check out Jason Leasure's ghidraal project and the python 3 bridge by justfoxing too. Between them there is Python 3, Ruby, R, and Javascript support.

    To that end, I've created the Ruby Dragon plugin to do just that. I've gotten it to a relatively stable point, and I think it's ready to share with anyone that prefers Ruby or Clojure to the default choices! Both an interactive console and scripts are supported, as well as running scripts via the headless analyzer.
