- AndyKelley 10y agoI think the best language to do that in is C++. You write a C .h file, and then a C++ .cpp file that implements the C functions using the C++ API. Zig doesn't know how to use the C++ ABI. It's pretty complicated.
- fspeech 10y agoYou are right that C++ methods need to be invoked in C++ code. However C container types are too weak/inconvenient to wrap C++ code. I am wondering if something like Zig can be used to create STL like containers that can be used at the API level?
