> * Great Libraries ( Everything and a kitchen sink )
This is a must for me. I often give up on compiled languages because libfoobar isn't yet available on the language and I have no interest in writing (and maintaining) language bindings for third party libraries I use.
My dream is that one day I'll be able to do something like:
Foobar = link_cimport({"headers": ["foobar.h"], "packages": [ "foobar" ], "prefix": "foobar_"});
Foobar.do_something(); // would call foobar_do_something();
Foobar.hidden_function(); // would call hidden_function();
and the compiler will give me an executable that was linked against `foobar` instead of dlopen()ing it at runtime. Something like: Foobar = loadable_cimport({"headers": ["foobar.h"]});
foo = Foobar.load("/path/to/foo.so");
bar = Foobar.load("/path/to/bar.so");
would also be nice because I often have to load libraries that implement the same API/ABI.
