Maybe next year after the season we can build up a proposal on how to get this into the official WPILib. I've seen firsthand how much a good simulator base helps test code and makes sure it always runs properly. It would be nice to potentially have this be a native library replacing the HAL, like we currently do in the unofficial languages, but I don't really think FIRST would go for that solution.
