Designing nice library APIs is hard
I am trying to write a safe wrapper around
I also wanted to make the api more rusty and easier to use.
First image = using chafa-sys straight out of the box.
Second image = the safe wrapper i am working on (heavily simplified)

I have just achieved the ultimate FFI threesome.
OCaml + Rust + C = ❤️
What you are seeing in the images is OCaml code calling out to Rust which in turn is calling out to C.
The actual flow
(->) this means calls into
You know complexity gets such a bad rep but it's actually cool when you actually understand it. Feeling pretty proud of myself to have achieved this 😁.
As always the code is on GitHub
