Check out a step-by-step recipe for building a simple `helloworld.py` example plugin based on [pyln-client](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/tree/master/contrib/pyln-client).
You can also follow along the video below where Blockstream Engineer Rusty Russell walks you all the way from getting started with Core Lightning to building a plugin in Python.
Finally, `lightningd`'s own internal [tests](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/tree/master/tests/plugins) can be a useful (and most reliable) resource.
## Writing a plugin in Rust
[`cln-plugin`](https://docs.rs/cln-plugin/) is a library that facilitates the creation of plugins in Rust, with async/await support, for low-footprint plugins.
Check out this [repository](https://github.com/lightningd/plugins#plugin-builder-resources) that has a collection of actively maintained plugins as well as plugin libraries (in your favourite language) built by the community.
