Software code sections can include at least one calling procedure (110) and a called procedure (140). The called procedure can include an interpreted code body (144). Execution of the interpreted code body can require the use of an associated interpreter. The software code sections can also include prologue (142) associated with the called procedure. The prologue can be invoked by the at least one calling procedure and can responsively actuate the interpreted code body causing programmatic actions defined within the interpreted code body to execute. Execution of the prologue does not require use of an interpreter. In one embodiment, the interpreted code body of the called procedure can execute upon a platform having an application binary interface (115). The prologue can actuate the interpreted code body according to specifications of the application binary interface.
