Open discussion on MLIR bindings

For example, I would like to expose some of CIRCT’s custom types to Python. I have an idea of how I can do that with some refactoring of the upstream Python binding code, but I would also be interested in making a more general improvement that can benefit the other host languages like Swift.

If we could find a way to improve this area, it would be really welcome. Here are some thoughts I had on it last year, but getting everything brought up took priority over putting any more time/thought into it: Structured, custom attributes and types (for non-C++ bindings)

Would it be worth discussing this in an ODM? Should we break out an have a separate session just for this?

I don’t hold the MLIR ODM schedule but would be +1 on either that forum or another one. I think there is plenty to talk about and enough people have had their hands in it that it would be good to sync in some fashion.
