I've got a bunch of projects that can really benefit from doing some number crunching at native compiled speed, rather than the speed of JavaScript, so... how hard is it to create a DLL file and then have Node use that?

Turns out, with Rust, and a modern FFI solution for node like Koffi[1]: really easy!
