Native extensions for Deno?
Does something like n-api exist for deno? Can't find it in the manual

Foreign Function Interface API | Manual | Deno
As of Deno 1.13 and later, the FFI (foreign function interface) API allows users
to call libraries written in native languages that support the C ABIs (C/C++,
Rust, Zig, etc.) using
Deno.dlopen.you can find a lot more info about FFI in https://denonomicon.deno.dev/ (maintained by @aapoalas, not by the Deno core team)
FFI is not the same thing as native extensions.
Native extensions: you write code in C (or whatever), and wrap it in deno types from some header file. you can then import this as a module.
then no, there's nothing like that
there's a PR to add support for n-api, but it's many months old and is unlikely to get merged anytime soon
ok, thanks. just making sure it wasn't called something else
