They're really code generators rather than bindings. There's now also Rust, Go, C# and Pascal. Also the JSX one has now morphed into a pure Javascript generator (because https://github.com/jsx/JSX seems totally inactive now, and there's a much more famous JSX which is part of React).

Bug#852197: snowball: Please update to a newer upstream snapshot
Source: snowball Version: 0+svn585-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, It would be nice if snowball was upgraded to the current version from the new upstream Git [0]. Compared the the current Svn support, that snapshot contains support for new languages (Arabic, Tamil), new bindings (Python, JSX) and many bug fixes. I need this for Sphinx which now uses snowball for search. I have started some initial work at [1], but it was never reviewed. Below I am copying a part of my private mail: > I have pushed a new update to [1], rebasing against the latest upstream > snapshot.
