Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Opaque Types for UniFFI
On my youtube series "Growing up Rust", I'm building a personal CRM in Rust with a Swift frontend. I'm using CQRS and an event-driven architecture with the least amount of swift as possible. I'm using UniFFI to generate the bindings for swift (and in this example python)

Willow Protocol
Not officially. We currently have bindings for rust, python, golang and swift.
These were the most asked for bindings (python for ml, golang for networking and swift for ios apps).
We are using uniffi https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/
Would you need C or C++ bindings?

Show HN: Pip Imports in Deno
An alternative is metacall. The example in the readme is about calling Python from Javascript, but it also works with other languages, like Ruby, C#, Java, and other languages
https://github.com/metacall/core
List of supported languages here https://github.com/metacall/core/blob/develop/docs/README.md...
In the future, maybe webidl (or extensions of it) will bring interoperability between languages too. At the moment there is https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for interoperability between Rust and a number of languages (basically the ones mozilla needs: Swift, Kotlin, Javascript)

ffizz: Build a Beautiful C API in Rust
The tooling for the first kind -- calling Rust from another language -- is a bit less developed, and tends to rely on code generation that doesn't necessarily produce a natural C API. cbindgen, uniffi, cxx, and Diplomat all take this course.

macOS Apps in Rust
Mozilla's uniffi-rs is really good. You write a common IDL and the bindings are generated automatically.

Write SDK “base” in Rust, wrap in other languages?
At Mozilla we built a multi-language bindings generator: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs/

An experiment in the Rust compiler to begin devising a new cross-language ABI that's higher-level than the C ABI, with the goal of safer and easier FFI
Is there a connection with Mozilla UniFFI ?

Tauri now supports Android/iOS in the 2.0 branch!
Rust <> Swift/ Kotlin works very well with uniffi-rs by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/uniffi-rs

- Swig – Connect C/C++ programs with high-level programming languages
- Using Lua with C++
-
Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.
-
How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!
-
Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.

Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.
