Hey Larry, Sorry, I meant you as in the OIIO project. Also, I'd love to support the bindings. My only concern is I'm only able to do so on evenings and weekends (I'm assuming that's the case for everyone involved). I agree that if we can get several people on board as the Rust bindings leads, then that's a good space to be in.
