-repo description
+`raylib-ffi` aims to provide a "no frills" direct binding to [raylib](https://www.raylib.com/) for rust developers. Unlike the [`raylib-rs` project](https://github.com/deltaphc/raylib-rs), this library trades high-level abstractions for staying truly up to date with upstream raylib (instead of a whole major version behind).
