Really cool project. Any plans to port the API to other languages? My use case for something like this is to represent types that are used on either side of FFI (Rust <--> Some other language). Pairing this with a code generator for the shared types would be great. That's something flatbuffers/capnproto do well that isn't just pure speed.




Yes, language ports are being worked on :)

You will be able to access the same data in different languages using APIs specific to your language.

Right now someone has already made a (private) Go port. And Rust is also in the works.


I vibe-coded a prototype Python library just to see how it could work - left you an issue comment about that here: https://github.com/fastserial/lite3/issues/6#issuecomment-36... - code is at https://github.com/simonw/lite3/tree/conformance-suite/lite3...

(Update: I used the same process to add a JavaScript library as well: https://github.com/simonw/lite3/tree/conformance-suite/lite3...)

About to troll you on this point. I'm glad I wasn't too hasty. Looking forward to trying it out once it's there!
