I’ve never understood or written #ruby bindings to other languages. But now, I’ve found motivation. The #taffy UI library written in #rust looks amazing, and #stretchable is a #python binding for it. Can anybody recommend books, videos, or other resources to learn the skills I’d need to write Ruby bindings for it?

Unfortunately I have no concrete reason to make such a thing, so I won’t do it (esp. since without a use case, it’d be easy to mess up the API)
