I'm not conflating anything. Why do you need to burden a language with a C ABI when you can just invoke the language independent mechanism directly?

The C ABI is influenced by C's type model, but so is OpenBSD itself. There is no truly language independent mechanism. If a programming language implementation can't interface with a C ABI, how can it interface with the language independent mechanism?
