I agree with you, but it's always hard to ignore the allure of not needing to write all the bindings manually. If nobody is willing to write the bulk of the initial bindings then the chance of someone using it seems low, and in theory writing a transparent layer between the two takes less time/effort (in practice I agree that the incompatibilities will make it messy long term).

Rust has the same problem with C APIs, in the past I've went to use something and found that the binding was not there. For a couple functions it's no big deal, but if say half or more of the ones I needed weren't there already then I wouldn't have bothered trying to use it at all.
