## � Example: Multi-Language Counter

```nexus
>>>schema
{
    "counter": 0,
    "updated_by": "none"
}

>>>py
from nexus_core import NexusMemory
import json, time

mem = NexusMemory(create=True)
mem.write(json.dumps({"counter": 0, "updated_by": "python"}).encode())

while True:
    state = json.loads(mem.read().decode())
    print(f"Counter: {state['counter']} (by {state['updated_by']})")
    time.sleep(2)

>>>c
#include "nexus.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    nexus_init();
    while(1) {
        // C increments the counter
        char* state = nexus_read();
        // Parse, increment, write back...
        sleep(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

## 🔌 Plugin System

Create custom plugins to extend Nexus:

```bash
nexus plugin create my-plugin --type language
```

Plugin types:
- `language` - Add new language support (Lua, Ruby, etc.)
- `hook` - Pre/post compile hooks
- `transform` - Code transformations
- `adapter` - Custom memory adapters
