Relatively primitive, but I'm glad things like this are being made. I would switch to Rust from C++ in a heartbeat if I could easily call the Windows.h stuff, or even just plug into existing C++ code I've written.

Rust's C FFI is well-supported because Mozilla's Servo needs to integrate with other Mozilla code written in C++, like SpiderMonkey.

  I'm guessing that he's complaining about the fact that you still have to expose your C++ code with a C API.

    I guess that's an issue trying to get C++ to work with most other languages, due to non-standardized name mangling schemes and whatnot.

      Name mangling isn't the problem; vtable layout and templates are. In particular, templates are pretty much unsolvable without embedding all of C++ in the language.

        Never mind working with other languages, it's a problem just linking between different compiler versions.

I'm still waiting for "VisualErlang".
