Hey everyone! I've been working on hsrs, a type-safe Haskell Bindings Generator for Rust.

I couldn't really find any bindings generator that would create type-safe, rich bindings for Haskell from Rust. Naturally, both languages have rich type systems, so I was amazed that no awesome bindings generator already existed, hence I decided to write my own. hsrs feels very similar to pyo3 and napi-rs, and if you've used those, hsrs will feel right at home.

What's unique about hsrs as opposed to hs-bindgen is that it has type-safe bindings for rich types, like Result, Maybe, etc. while also generating Haskell bindings. The repo contains a minimal example, and more details are available in the haskell discourse: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/ann-hsrs-ergonomic-haskell-b...
