Why to use C++ instead of python?
This is, perhaps, a bit off-topic, but I really want to know the
thoughts of experienced python programmers on it.
No, it's a fair question. Why are we all here?
The fact is, there's not a huge amount of reason left. If you're
linking against a C++ API, you may find it easiest to do the whole
program in C++, rather than use something like Cython (which, as far
as I'm aware, is C-only) or write a two-part project. And obviously if
you have an existing C++ codebase, then porting it has costs, and
maintaining it is probably better. But for the most part, I would
strongly recommend starting a project in a high level language like
Python unless there's a really compelling reason to do otherwise. C++
has, of late, been growing a number of features that belong in higher
level languages; but if you want those sorts of features, why not just
grab Python or Pike or something and save yourself the trouble?
For information, Cython works with C++ now:
