Ecstasy was designed around software containers and a strong security model. As such, Ecstasy does not have a FFI, and Ecstasy code cannot direcly access operating system or other foreign functions. More specifically, code running within an Ecstasy container cannot call foreign functions; any such required capabilities must be implemented outside of Ecstasy and then <i>injected</i> into an Ecstasy container. |
