When writing bindings, you need to write unit tests for your 
bindings and an interface. You're adding a layer of software with 
its own propensity for errors. You also don't have access to the 
underlying implementation in the IDE. You also can't add features 
to facilitate your own programs unless you control the repository.

Honestly, I can't stand having layers and layers of garbage to 
make up for language differences. I like the cleanliness of it 
all and it probably ended up taking me half the time because I 
avoided debugging new code.
