* An entry point for everyone who wants to implement a Truffle-based language. By providing an
* implementation of this type and registering it using {@link Registration} annotation, your
* language becomes accessible to users of the {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.vm.PolyglotEngine
* polyglot execution engine} - all they will need to do is to include your JAR into their
* application and all the Truffle goodies (multi-language support, multitenant hosting, debugging,
* etc.) will be made available to them.
*
*
* To ensure that a Truffle language can be used in a language-agnostic way, the implementation
* should be designed to decouple its configuration and initialization from language specifics as
* much as possible. One aspect of this is the initialization and start of execution via the
* {@link com.oracle.truffle.api.vm.PolyglotEngine}, which should be designed in a generic way.
* Language-specific entry points, for instance to emulate the command-line interface of an existing
* implementation, should be handled externally.
