Yes, C++ ABI is specific to each compiler, but it is not a problem, because you will anyway recompile CPython for each compiler !! Also g++ and clang++ has the same C++ ABI !! Usually people say that C++ not fit in CPython not knowing C++, it is common thing in psychology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing https://medium.com/@cogitality/the-dunning-kruger-effect-a-paradox-that-doesnt-apply-to-me-e48de7b3f77f Lets consider the advantages of C++: 1) C++ has objects, Python has objects, C do not have objects (struct is not object in term of OOP) 2) C++ has templates that allow to generate for free function specialization to improve performance 3) C++ has move semantic and switching to C++ you have move object for free !! 4) C++ has RAII (equivalent to CPython __del__), that works the same way to 5) ... and so on ... ... but i will not convince you because it is also another psychology stuff, if you what to believe in something, you will try to find evidences for proving your theory, see also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUzGV4F7He8 Please, to not take it personally, i just shared my thought about all of this discussion ... I just optimistic all my life that is why I try to impact, even if it is almost impossible ))) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/EQ5ETXJKK4DA4APAMQPGDVLRQYBPCA23/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
