consider FFI bindings

[2bndy5]

It occurred to me that we could generate bindings using the same rust code base for

• python (pyo3 for binding and maturin for packaging)
• node.js (yarn for packaging with napi-rs for native bindings and packaging)
• C (cbindgen for bindings and <your-choice-here> for packaging like conan or vcpkg or both and more)
• Java (jni-rs for bindings and maven for packaging)

The python, node.js, and java bindings would only work for Linux (32 or 64 bit).

I haven't explored the C or Java ideas, just throwing that out there. I have been exploring the python and node ideas (in a different project).

To use C bindings in Arduino builds, we'd have to ship the library with generated header file(s) and pre-compiled binaries (*.a files compatible with any supported architectures -- mostly variations of arm-none-eabi for newer chips). But I'm not sure how feasible that would be, given complications like an RTOS or other multi-tasking implementations.
