Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-5208:
-------------------------------------
Cython is a very limited language. In C++ we are able to take advantage of many
language features like C++11 lambdas and code generation using templates that
are not possible in Cython, and would yield a lot of code duplication and most
likely worse performance.
BTW, I highly recommend learning C++11. I believe we are only going to see
_more_ Python packages that are a hybrid of C++11 (or C++14/17) and Python,
with thin bindings either in Cython or pybind11.
