Is it possible to write a NIF for a Cython-based project?

I’ve never written a NIF before.

It looks like pandas has a lot of performance features due to its use of Cython and numpy (which I think is also using Cython). I see that there’s a numpy project for elixir. I’m wondering how hard it would be to wrap pandas with a NIF for elixir.

I see that there’s an elixir dataframe project but this seems abandoned, and I don’t see any indication of how the author plans to recreate the performance benefits. There’s also a dataframe project in rust, which might lend itself to integration with elixir, but this project seems immature and I wonder if it’s smart to reinvent the wheel here.
