## XOM in Other Languages

XOM is designed and implemented exclusively in Java. No efforts have been made to make it compatible with any other languages, nor are any likely to be. As Ben Trafford wrote on xml-dev, September 27, 2002:

Perhaps in the future someone inspired by XOM may take the ideas and design principles to other languages such as C++, C#, Python, or Perl. However, I probably won't do it myself; and I suspect that anyone who does will pretty much need to start over from scratch, and adapt the principles to their language of choice as appropriate.
