Cross platform RPC integration for Corda?

Are there any plans to develop CordaRPCOps for cross platform interaction, for example, will there, or is where a way I could connect to a Corda node using RPC from Python or .NET?

Currently, no, beyond JVM languages. See the message from Corda's lead platform engineer that he wrote to celebrate Corda's third birthday:

I’ll ask for input again at the start of the Corda 5 cycle because it’s very open to feedback, but here are some initial APIs we’re thinking of upgrading:

  • ...

  • If there is interest and adoption, support for more languages like JavaScript, C++, C# … probably using a mix of Graal and conventional code generation. We might start looking for contributors to ‘own’ optimizing the experience in these other languages, rather than the Corda team taking it all on.

  • ...

In the meantime, you have several stop-gap options:

  • Using GraalVM for supported languages, as Nitesh comments above
  • Implementing a thin server that maps CordaRPCOps calls into HTTP methods (e.g. Braid)
