Use Qiskit in other programming languages (C#, JavaScript and Lua)

Question

I am exploring using Qiskit in other programming languages for game development, such as C# (for Unity game engine), JavaScript (Phaser.io) and Lua (LÖVE2D).

Is there a general way to call Qiskit class and methods from other programming languages? Perhaps this is a question related to python and not specific to Qiskit. But I think it still has values in this stackexchange for people want to develop applications in other languages using Qiskit.

The answer for Julia: Qiskit in Julia language? is related but not the same. I have edited the question for C#, JavaScript and Lua specifically.

Another approach is to use flask server in python, but that requires writing the APIs individually. I am looking for a way to call any or most of qiskit modules without writing a lot of new code. — Junye Huang, Jan 13 '20 at 09:50
@peterh-ReinstateMonica Thanks for the comment. But the answer is only for Julia. I want to know the solution for C#, Javascript and Lua. — Junye Huang, Jan 13 '20 at 15:03

Yes it can be converted to required Programming language. Py4J , Py4J enables Python programs running in a Python interpreter to dynamically access Java objects in a Java Virtual Machine. SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
