Draft blog post about why we believe it worth it to build language bindings, the tradeoffs that are made along the way, and the benefits of our approach.

@storopoli mentioned he might be interested in reviewing.

Thank you for the awesome review @storopoli! Sorry in the end we had to merge because we wanted some more pages in before the Spiral announcement of the grant for the foundation, and I just didn't address many of those points. I'll have a follow-up PR that will fix a bunch of these!

I'll note that I have changed my tune around the Bitcoin/bitcoin debate. See this tweet for the core idea. I think the whole thing has been super confusing since the beginning, and the exact line between the two is not always as clear as we'd like. Internet used to be capitalized, and once it became ubiquitous it just became another word, "internet". That's how I think of bitcoin. I now uniquely use lowecase b "bitcoin". However this is my personal preference, and I do understand that the Foundation might want to apply a style ruleset that would standardize our use of the word on blog posts and documentation, and if the Foundation prefers the uppercase/lowercase bitcoin words I will certainly adopt that.

Nah, that's fine. I'm glad to be useful :)
