Using C or Rust Libraries in Bend

rawhuul opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi,
Thanks for Bend, its massively impressive.

Most computational heavy library in python are written in C, like numpy, tf, pandas, etc. This is not the case for Bend, but ability to use already build library would benefit the whole bend ecosystem.
Is it possible to use them?? Maybe via FFI, but this will only applicable to C ABI, libraries like Polars written in Rust would need extra work to port here.

Yes, this is planned.
