Questions to answer

  • Define the landscape
    • precisely, what Rust can do
    • trivial stuff
      • bindings, built in & generated
    • what the problems are
    • why you need non-trivial stuff
  • Framing
    • trivial vs non-trivial work
    • semantics overlap of two languages
      • the closer the easier (representation, plus invariants)
    • most non-trivial stuff unique to a project
    • more from strategy doc?
  • What can we do without non-trivial stuff?
  • What does an abstraction layer do?
    • safety
    • PL semantics stuff
    • project semantics stuff
  • How to write the abstraction layer?

So, how does this fit into the book format?

  • bindings
  • representations
  • safety
