Abstract
An intermediate representation of a workflow that comprises software functions may be generated to efficiently perform data marshalling. The workflow is analyzed, including identifying that a first software function is implemented in a first language, a second software function is implemented in a second language, and a third software function is not explicitly implemented in an implementation language. Factors associated with the software functions are analyzed, including implementation languages of the software functions. Based on the analysis of the factors, an implementation language is assigned to the third software function that comprises either the first or second language. Based on the analysis of the workflow, an intermediate representation of the workflow is generated that represents each of the plurality of software functions using declarative language. Generating the intermediate representation includes configuring the third software function to be implemented in the assigned implementation language upon compiling the intermediate representation.
