I have not tried CFFI. I have used only one FFI, in Allegro Common
Lisp. My understanding as of a few years ago
was that CFFI or UFFI supported only a subset of features. I do not
know how this has changed
over time, or if any of the features matter to Maxima. I would
encourage someone to look at it though!
