That ctypes.sh makes me think of Microsoft Powershell which is able to script COM objects much as Visual Basic. It's the moral equivalent of ctypes, although ctypes is in the wild and wooly world of C where there isn't any concept of memory safety, garbage collection and all that, whereas COM provides an OO-like API that looks horribly overengineered from the C world.
