Hi Alon,

I have been an active user and (small) contributor of both emscripten and 
embind for a few years now.
Embind works very well (at least for my use cases) and it would be a shame 
to see it being abandonned.
I would be glad to help with embind issues, but I might not be able to 
invest enough time to keep up with all the new shiny things in emscripten.
Anyway, I will do what I can and hope that it will motivate others :)
