All right. I put up a repository for this project: https://github.com/cheery/node-wayland
I'll start it by writing bindings for the wl_proxy probably. I remembered there were some example c++ modules around, and finally found them again. These modules should be helpful when recalling how to write bindings for node.js: https://github.com/kkaefer/node-cpp-modules If you're willing to help me on this, you probably want to build your own wayland to test the module. I'll post some instructions later that may be useful, especially if you're using ubuntu like me. It needs a small patch to skip libffi. It's the same patch used by java bindings.
