Cuneiform (programming language) KNIME which allows the use of external software through snippet nodes, or Taverna which offers BeanShell services for integrating Java software. By defining a task in a foreign language it is possible to use the API of an external tool or library. This way, tools can be integrated directly without the need of writing a wrapper or reimplementing the tool. Currently supported foreign programming languages are: Cuneiform provides a simple, statically checked type system.
