Description
Someone in discord came up with their own .NET bindings and got Tailscale working from C#. I think that counts as a vote for having .NET bindings 😂
Their approach was to use https://github.com/Cysharp/csbindgen to get the FFI glue in place, followed by hand-wrapping the generated APIs into something idiomatic for C#.
Once we have C#, VB.NET and F# can call into the C# API to do their thing, although for maximum niceness F# would prefer to have an idiomatic wrapper around that too. But I think aiming for C# to start with makes sense.
