    For more information how to use this macro you can find the documentation here. I've been using this macro to write bindings for RustFFT; you can find the Rust bindings here, the build recipe for BinaryBuilder.jl in the Yggdrasil repo, and the RustFFT.jl package here.

    Some of the Julia folks got tired with it and basically built a new binary builder and manager. The build scripts looks very similar to Homebrew recipes but the whole system is cross-plateform (works on windows, mac, linux, arm, ...) and the compilation itself happens in the cloud (github actions I think now), so it just downloads a small relocatable binary for you. It can seems a bit crazy to redo the whole thing from scratch but binary dependencies issues have basically disappeared from the ecosystem since the switch, so it seems to pays off big time.
