Let's talk about making portable libraries with Swift clients. Has anyone made a tool yet to autogen Obj-C wrappers for C++ interfaces?

Now you're just hurting me on purpose.

Do you have a better idea?

ideally the layer between the two is so thin that writing that by hand is not a big deal :)

Worried friction there will keep us from sharing more. But maybe you're right!

github.com/dropbox/djinni ?
