Bindings to other languages

[dvanduzer]

Thanks for supporting this work, and open sourcing it!

Do you have a timeframe for releasing bindings to other languages? My top 2 would be Python and Swift, and if those aren't high on the list for Uber, I'd probably get started working on them myself in the near future.

Hi, unfortunately I don't have a firm timeline to share. I'm hoping for the next month or two for most of the bindings we want to release. Of those, I think Swift wouldn't be a priority for us, so we'd certainly appreciate your making those bindings.

[travisbrady]

Neither Python or Swift, but I've been working on some OCaml bindings here: https://github.com/travisbrady/ocaml-h3

If no one else is working on Python bindings I may start those next.

Note that Java has been released: https://github.com/uber/h3-java

Is anyone working on the python bindings? It might be best to collaborate on some external branch if necessary instead of starting from scratch.

cc @TengHu about Python

[TengHu]

Yes, i'm actively working on python bindings. https://github.com/uber/h3-py.
I expect to finish the remaining work it in 2 weeks.

[adsouza]

https://github.com/uber/h3-py 404s for me so I'm guessing it's still a private repo or something.
What about Go bindings? The blog post said they were forthcoming too...

[TengHu]

@adsouza Thank you for your interest. Yes, Python and Go bindings are still under development. The python bindings are expected to be released in 2-3 weeks.

[gsantam]

Hi @TengHu we are very excited about the Python bindings, when do you expect to release them? Thank you!

[Tafkas]

@TengHu any updates on the Python bindings?

[TengHu]

@adsouza @gsantam Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I've been super busy for the past few weeks. Currently I'm cleaning up the h3-py repo, please stay tuned for the release.

Thank you for the patience!

I've started creating ios wrapper framework.

[TengHu]

@adsouza @gsantam h3-py (https://github.com/uber/h3-py) is released today, let us know if there is any problem.

Thank you!

Thanks for the awesome work! Is there a timeline on the Go bindings?

[jogly]

@markuswustenberg yes! I'm on the hook for the go bindings and should have something published in <= 3 weeks.

[markuswustenberg]

Nice, thanks for the quick update. Looking forward to it. :)

[jogly]

given we're at the 3 weeks mark I promised, I at least owe y'all an update:
the go bindings are going through a last couple rounds of peer review before they can be made public. SO! i'm pretty optimistic they will be released within a week from now. I hope the wait hasn't been too unbearable 😄

[jogly]

here you Go!

[ArnaudSwail]

I've made a C# binding to the h3 lib dll. It needs a bit of cleanup to be made public within the next days or so. This H3 index is really exciting!

[isaacbrodsky]

Thanks everyone for the bindings that have been contributed so far! We've released the bindings we've planned to for Java, JavaScript, Go, and Python. For requests for new bindings, please open a new issue with the label bindings-request.
