I keep hoping that some accessibility upgrade comes to the linker akin to how LLVM made compiler infrastructure more accessible, might make FFI bridging more automated. For example, if GDB can access and take apart C structs an automated way, why is FFI coding always seem to have programmers do a lot of mechanical interfacing work.
Not that all the other JVM, CIL, etc aren't approaches that yield some improvements, but something that upgrades capability or accessibility at the level of the ABI linkage level is going to be a wider impact.
