How to make Geode bindings for any programming language

So for this you're going to need two things:

1. A generic library for dynamically generating assembly that wraps GD functions into non-static runtime structures that you can then easily manipulate into the target language's types
2. A runtime for the target language that converts the library wrappers into language types and back

The generic library of step 1. can just be like a CMake file and a header + source file that are embedded in each runtime separately. This also requires TulipHook to expose its assembly generators (which I believe it does already).

So first you run through the bindings' codegen data and collect all the types and functions that are referred to in bindings and then you generate this epic code. I've marked everything that has to be generated from codegen data using the fictional [[generate]] attribute

// Required for the ScrollLayer class, a Geode addition
#include <Geode/ui/ScrollLayer.hpp>

using namespace geode::prelude;

// `items` here is some content you want to use to generate the 
// list nodes - this can be levels, posts, or whatever else you want 
// to make a list of
ScrollLayer* createMyList(std::vector<Item> const& myItems) {
    // The size here is the size of the visible area you can see and scroll in
