Roadmap for FFI bindings from Wren?

luxe version: 2022.0.5

I’ve got a few features that I’d like to use but would probably be low priority for luxe as a whole, including:

  • Support for calendars (including local calendar) to get accurate local dates
  • Lower level file access or bindings for SQLite (so I can reduce my memory footprint a bit)
  • Steamworks (for potential leaderboards)
  • Wwise integration (for richer real-time audio processing like dynamic filters)

These might be useful for the engine in the long term, but wouldn’t be something I’d expect for beta. However, I could potentially write modules for these myself if FFI bindings from Wren were available. Is there a roadmap for this support?

This feedback is related to:

I sent @btsherratt the necessary bits to start tinkering with this.

The roadmap for beta is uncertain, cos while plugins are really powerful, they’re also a can of worms and I wanna make sure we get it a little closer to right than have to make everyone migrate to a new version and deprecate a bunch of working stuff.

If anyone wants to mess with it, reach out
