The future of Clang-based tooling
3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Jul 2023

Have you seen https://github.com/RosettaCommons/binder ?
python aside, having gone down this rabbithole, and still not infrequently revisiting said rabbithole, I don't believe using *clang like this a winning strategy. Because of the number of corner cases there are in eg C++17, you will end reimplementing effectively all of the "middle-end" (the parts that lower to llvm) for your target language. At that point you're building bindings anymore but a whole-ass transpiler. Binder fails to be complete in the way.
My current theory is to try "synthesize" bindings from the llvm ir (a much smaller representational surface). Problems abound here too (ABI).
