Rust bindings for kenlm? #325

Closed poneill closed 3 years ago

poneill commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm looking into writing rust bindings for kenlm. I'm posting this issue to check to see:

a) if there's been any previous work done on this topic b) if the bindings would be a welcome addition to the main kenlm repo c) (if no to a and yes to b) if anyone else with expertise in rust is interested in this project and would like to collaborate.

Cheers, Pat.

a) Not to my knowledge. The most likely people would be Mozilla but deepspeech binds from python if I understand correctly.
b) Sure c) I have no Rust experience

Thanks, I'll PR when I have something working.

To follow up, rust/c++ interop doesn't seem to be at a point where it makes sense for my use case, so I'll have to put this aside for now.
