+title: robotpy-build is now semiwrap
+---
+
+robotpy-build was created in 2020 to automate large portions of the work
+required to maintain and build the wrappers that RobotPy creates over the WPILib
+C++ libraries. semiwrap is a rewrite of that project, incorporating five years
+of lessons learned while maintaining over a dozen different projects wrapping
+hundreds of C++ classes and functions.
+
+This rewrite is intended to be used more broadly for autogenerating pybind11
+wrappers around C++ code, not just for RobotPy. It is built around hatchling and
+the meson build system, I encourage you to take a look!
