Agreed, but I can’t think of any other widespread ABIs that are better. Rust’s is not stable both C++ and Rust have concepts that don’t map into other languages well, so using them wholesale is a no go. So it would probably need to be a subset of those. Honestly just tagged unions would probably be enough. Maybe the solution is to get native tagged unions into C…
