Been working on the same one for a while now, an implementation of COM for Linux and macOS (Microsoft's stable library ABI/IPC/network protocol). It of course supports C and C++ but also Rust, and as of now the IDL compiler which generates headers and Rust sources and makes up the majority of the code, is written in Rust.
I started working on this as part of wanting to port C++ software that heavily used COM interfaces internally to Linux but then I wanted to start using it for other things so I started writing the IDL stuff. (As of now there's no network/IPC functionality or any kind of runtime though, it's purely interfaces. That's still WIP)
I guess this is yet another way to do C++ <-> Rust calls :P
