It has compelling use cases for me too, and I agree that grammars and nativecall are both contenders. :) But, fwiw, I didn't say just "compelling use cases" but: > no widely recognized distinctive compelling use case In other words, use cases folk out there know about, and that what they know about them makes them stand out. (Btw, I certainly don't think we should be trying to *promote* them to make them known and stand out. When they're ready, they'll promote themselves.) Imo the primary weakness with grammars for now is speed. Aiui the primary weakness with nativecall is header conversion. > I've written utilities that make much of the work of > porting an .h file as simple as running a single script.

I anticipate things will just keep on improving, and newcomers will keep on turning up. > I guess I'll be releasing the first lib sometime soon. Either way -- sooner or later -- it sounds like just the ticket. :) -- love, raiph
