Hi, I think you do a service to the world, I am a seller of toys, as shop owner, but was/am reluctant to sell teledildonics just because of security problems, I will keep a close look on your project to decide if and when I will start selling them and point my customers to your project. Any chance of using golang in the future?

Hopefully once the FFI bindings happen in Rust, yeah! We had someone produce a Go library right when the project started 3 years ago, but it's SUPER dated now and wasn't really supported much.

I see... Problem for me would be that updating that library would mean an investment of all these different devices, and you know they ain't come cheap. Would it be an option to create a virtual device which could be populated with the hardware rules of each of these producers, to enable swift creation of bindings in all sorts of languages without quick aging of code?

This is something we get questions about constantly, more from the DIY side (where people want to make < 10 devices) than from manufacturers (who still aren't sure what to do with us yet). There's a few standards popping up right now to talk at the device level, I'm hoping to do some writing about those soon. While my company blog isn't up quite yet, best way to stay in the loop on that is the project twitter account - http://twitter.com/buttplugio
