So lately I've been having obscene amounts of fun during absolutely hair-brained and -raising FFI crimes between Rust and C++. "Look ma, no C ABI!" Just going in raw, binding to C++ ABIs, inheriting C++ classes, creating C++ template instances like std::function's, all that good jazz direct in Rust.

What's that? Also, the crimes are unfortunately in closed source (aside from that library that I wrote over a weekend day).

if its closed source but you/your company still want to connect to other rust/cxx users this might actually be the best place

It's quite the thrill, I say. I already started a library to make std:: function creation cross-platform, and now I'm honestly thinking I might need a library that auto-mangles function signatures into link_name attributes. Now that'd be fun!
