It’s really too bad people aren’t doing things like this in Lisp. There are so many more tools for building useful abstractions and a rich history of real work in the field to draw upon, performance is very good, and CFFI works great for interfacing with very low level C-callable code. (It didn’t take me long at all to use CFFI to bridge to Intel’s MRAA on the Edison, for example.)
