Yes, it is probably true that you can not easily debug these unit tests.
But is the debuggability the only argument here? I doubt it. We have
Yes it very much is. I'm currently struggling with visibility into a
failing unit test, and the dual Java/C++ nature of the unit test makes
it incredibly hard for me to find the source of the problem.
I am, with great joy, looking forward to the day when almost all of our
unit tests are written in C++ so I don't have to jump through hoops when
debugging.
Besides, the C++ unit tests, thanks to the excellent frameworks we use,
have very little extra verbiage compared to their python counterparts.
