Hi everyone,

Embind is a tool emscripten has that helps connect C++ and JS,

https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/porting/connecting_cpp_and_javascript/embind.html

The original creators have been less active lately, and it seems that
currently it is no longer actively maintained. In particular, issues get
filed about embind that sometimes get no response.

On the positive side, that issues get filed means this is a feature that
people want. Also, we do have good testing for embind and what is tested
should work perfectly. And while there are other mechanisms for connecting
C++ and JS - ccall/cwrap for simple calls, the WebIDL binder for binding
C++ to JS - embind does a bunch of things that have no alternative
currently.

So embind is definitely a useful and usable feature now, however, without
filed issues being triaged and fixed, and no new development, that might
change eventually. For example, a specific issue I noticed over the last
few days was that async wasm compilation - a new feature - doesn't work in
embind, we need help with things like that.

The bottom line is that for embind to keep up with emscripten development,
it needs someone to work on it. Is someone interested to help out?

- Alon
