3. c2nim

   2 7 513 4.1 Nim

   c2nim is a tool to translate Ansi C code to Nim. The output is human-readable Nim code that is meant to be tweaked by hand before and after the translation process.

   

   Now if only a full binding generator for C and C++ headers to Nim was done, the language would really be cooking!

   "What do you mean, Nim has two of these already?"

   Yeah, I know, and -- not to hurt anyone's feelings -- but: they kind of suck. And there's no way I see them able to be extended to do the job fully, based on the way they're currently built.

   Those are some bold claims to make!

   So before I get stoned to death (no offense to the authors, I am grateful that they exist and have used them both) let me attempt an explanation and back up these statements.

   ---

   To start off, the two tools available are "c2nim" and "nimterop". c2nim is a Nim official library, while nimterop is a community library.

   Nimterop is a Nim package that aims to make C/C++ interop seamless

5. ClangSharp

   4 8 1,058 7.2 C#

   Clang bindings for .NET written in C#

   

   I've found this to be true, with the exception that a few people have taken to "augmenting" libclang with extra bindings to libTooling functions or other C++-only methods.

   Most notably is Tanner Gooding & Co's "libClangSharp" from the Microsoft "ClangSharp" project, and PathogenDavid's "Biohazrd" libraries (which again are a sort of enhanced fork based on ClangSharp):

   5 1 61 0.0 C#

   A framework for automatically generating binding wrappers for C/C++ libraries

7. nimporter

   6 11 843 1.7 Python

   Compile Nim Extensions for Python On Import!

   

   For the specific case of Python executing Nim code you might be interested in [nimporter](https://github.com/Pebaz/nimporter) instead. Genny would definitely work for you as well, but it seems to be more geared towards creating libraries in Nim that can be imported by multiple languages.
