Do you mean that it is not even worth trying one's own bindings?

I am asking because I am fully aware is not a high-priority feature among users, so it is not likely to see it implemented by any vendors. It is only my guess, of course. 
The thing is that I won't hold my breath for some vendor to come along and implement Ada support for ZFS, because it may never happen...

So, my next question is: how much would a hired programmer need to write one-platform-only (say, Windows or Linux) Ada bindings for *some* ZFS functions?
I am saying "some" because what I actually need is only the support for extended attributes (xattr). Any guess?
