3D simulation-testing of a robot
You could look into openrr. They've got plenty of robotics-related software written in Rust. There's also rosrust for Rust-implementations of the ROS library. I know the Gazebo program is often used in conjunction with ROS for simulations, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

Best practices in creating a Rust API for a C++ library? Seeking advice from those who've done it before.
In Robotics, the Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) is a popular library for multi-dimensional motion planning, and is used by ROS and other robotics-related software. There are no Rust bindings to OMPL (though there is Rust support for software like ROS), and the library is written almost exclusively in C++. There are Python bindings, but those are generated using Py++. The header files throughout OMPL are C++ header files, not C, as they contain namespaces, classes, etc.

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
Rust supports two kinds of FFI: calling into Rust from another language; and calling into another language from Rust. Most of the thought and tooling that exists right now is organized around the second kind. For example, bindgen is a popular tool that generates useful Rust wrappers from a C or C++ header file.

I have looked into bindgen, but found that it would not be feasible due to OMPL not having a C API, just C++.

the graphics driver doesn't work on gentoo.
Yes! Are you running LLVM version 16.0.0 or newer, by any chance? I believe this is an issue with some builds of bindgen with newer versions of LLVM. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen/issues/2488

Any sort of plugin engine with dynamic load ability and any limitations?
On native, you have to define a C API, probably using a header file. Even if both sides are implemented in Rust, they have to speak that C API (documentation).

Issue resolving dependencies when linking C libraries
I am trying to use rust-bindgen (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen) to link a static C library (say `libexample.a`) which is compiled in a separate project with CMake. The `libexample.a` depends on other libraries (for example `libcurl.a`) installed on the system.

I implemented a NASA image compression algorithm
It looks like the guy you're replying too was kind of an ass, but I do want to point out for anyone else reading that that's not actually that much of a technical limitation: rust code can natively call C code. The main thing you need is a translation of the C library's header file so rustc knows what C functions and structs exist, and that can be automatically generated with bindgen.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (5/2023)!
It's quite the different approach, but you could consider using bindgen instead.

Control hardware using c# or c++ API (dll)
Use bindgen or CXX to create Rust bindings for the C or C++ libraries.
