Thank you very much for your kind words.
I really enjoyed your blog post. Your project looks like exactly the kind of thing this library was designed for.
Do you mind if I add your project to the "Projects using insn" section of the README? You can give me a short description to use, if you would like. I'd also add a link to your blog post on the "Higher Level API" wiki page, if I have your permission.
Thanks again!
Please, by all means, anything you like.
Working on next version of datatype library btw, which will (among other things) combine everything above with graal native.
Thank you. I've added the links. I'll be watching for the next version!

I used insn to dynamically generate bindings for the different ffi systems in order to implement a data driven, multi backend ffi pathway.
Having this done with insn means I am not limited by Clojure's typesystem which, for instance, is unable to use invokeExact on a method handle.
It means I can also, in code, generate a class suitable for jna's directmapping pathway and of course generating and loading the classes is pretty much instant as there really isn't a compilation process.
Just FYI :-). This is great :-).
Just wanted to say so publicly and officially.
We use it at a pretty deep level to build optimized dimension-specific indexing systems for ND operations:

I wrote a sort of blog post about my experience using it a while ago and meant to post it here:
