Roadmap for supporting other languages

[tra38]

From the Drivers page on the Bit Wiki...

Bit components are language agnostic. You can write components in any language you'd like, and Bit will be able to manage them. To facilitate this behavior Bit requires a driver for each programming language, so that the components will be accessible to used in your code.

A JavaScript driver already exists, but I would like to know if there is a roadmap for building drivers in other languages (Ruby, Python, Lisp, C#, etc.). At the very least, I'd like to know how to build my own driver for a language, so that I could write code in one language and import it for use in a entirely different codebase.

Hi @tra38 - right now we're stabilizing the driver APIs and workflow. Once this is done, we will be able to publish detailed instructions on how to implement more drivers.

We plan on finishing this part of the architecture in the very near future - so I'll keep this issue open until it's done and the proper docs are in place.

i really hope that bit can support python.

Yes, python via pipenv would be ideal.

closing this issue as right now we do not have such roadmap, as we still working through finalizing JS support.

@itaymendel any update for python support roadmap?
