This really is a gift of the gods to humankind.&lt;p&gt;If you like creating wrappers around C libraries, perhaps this is the most overlooked feature in Swift, called the &amp;#x27;ClangImporter&amp;#x27;. Compared with Rust&amp;#x27;s bindgen, bindgen looks like a more complicated bindings generator even at the C level with you tweaking the options and other knobs to &amp;#x27;get it right&amp;#x27; for your specific wrapper project.&lt;p&gt;This is before you even start to write a higher-level and more idiomatic wrapper and ClangInporter binds the C part to generate Swift functions for you by default. Similarly, Zig also has this too which is &amp;quot;@cImport&amp;quot; with the path to the header file as the input IIRC.&lt;p&gt;It also looks like Swift is getting C++ interop for this too.
