Ask HN: Exposing C ABI from Rust library?
I have a project called XferLang (https://github.com/paulmooreparks/Xfer) that is a data-transfer language with a few features that I like (and use) which aren't found in JSON. Right now, it's implemented in C#, and my first idea for porting it to other languages was just to rewrite it in those languages. Now, my idea is to reimplement the core library (elements, parser, and serializer/deserializer) in Rust, expose a C-like ABI, and then wrap that with other languages. That way I'm only managing one core library. Since I'm still quite new to Rust, is this a technique used in any other significant projects? Is it viable? Should I expect to be able to call into the library from essentially any language the way I would be able to call into a C library?

Why does JSON have commas?
I wrote my own language mainly to get rid of commas and colons, and I added comments while I was at it.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2025)
I've been working on an alternative to JSON called XferLang, and along with that a "CLI construction kit" that will let the user create a CLI for interacting with RESTful APIs (and, eventually, more).

Douglas Crockford Is Not Your Dad
I started writing a completely different language because I was annoyed with the limitations of JSON: https://github.com/paulmooreparks/Xfer
Comparatively, writing an alternative JSON parser is probably a bit wiser.
