We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives

- Swig – Connect C/C++ programs with high-level programming languages
- Using Lua with C++
-
Purego – A library for calling C functions from Go without Cgo
How is this any different than a mature tool such as SWIG (https://www.swig.org/)?
I've used SWIG extensively with Python to call C code and import C headers for testing/tooling purposes.
-
How does Golang communicate with C++?
For pure C, CGO. For C++ they are likely creating shims with Swig: https://www.swig.org/

I feel really dumb whenever I take a coding test for a job
I mostly write in C and C++ so for language bindings I use Swig a lot. Say Im creating a machine learning library in C++, its very easy to create a Python API that can call the C++ classes and methods using Swig. iirc, I am using the same swig interface file to create bindings for Python, OCaml, R and even Fortran. Feel free to DM me if you got any more questions or anything!

Is there a way to use a c++ project in a python project?
Swig can make c++ types and functions available to python.
-
Boxflow - A universal layout engine written in Zig
The likes of SWIG is often used to link C library-like code to 11-ish other widely used languages.

Hi, I have this program in C which I have to convert in Java(Android code), so that it could be used for decoding the output obtained from a Simulated program. Please help.
Maybe you could use swig to create a wrapper for Java.

How do SWIG and LLVM compare as language ecosystems?

How does Rust Python ffi work?
I've never used pyo3, just cpython, but the latter at least let me do things like:
-
Announcing Rust 1.59.0
And don't forget https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython to complete the circle
-
Hey, i begin my journey into Rust !
For interoperating with Python, check out PyO3 or rust-cpython. (More generally, see Rust Interop and Are We Extending Yet?)
-
Should I learn Rust coming from Python?
You probably should learn Rust. Aside from the process of learning new and different languages making you a better programmer, rust-cpython, PyO3, or Interoptopus make it easy to expose Python APIs from your Rust code. (eg. So it's easy to compile the same codebase as both a Python module and a WebAssembly module.)
-
What do you NOT like about Rust?
Have you looked into abi_stable, flapigen, interoptopus, cbindgen, PyO3, or rust-cpython?
-
Strengths and applications of Rust
Personally, I'm not willing to compromise on my GUI look and feel, so I use PyQt or PySide to write my GUIs against the QWidget API (I'm a KDE user and Python is the only language with mature memory-safe bindings to Qt) and, if the project can be structured with a frontend-backend separation, I use rust-cpython or PyO3 to write a backend in Rust that the Python frontend can import. Sort of using Python/Rust as a QWidget analogue to the QML/C++ architecture promoted for Qt Quick. (Which I don't use because it's still too incomplete on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS.)
-
From Python to Rust, should I?
also, check out rust-cpython, PyO3, and maturin, among other things. They're really nice options for using Rust for its strengths and Python for its strengths within the same project.
-
How we built our Python Client that's mostly Rust
This section uses flapigen to expand the foreign_class macro into many cpython functions as an extension module, and cargo compiles it as a cdylib. If you want to see what that looks like, install cargo-expand and run cargo expand. You'll get a lot of generated rust code.
-
How do i go about building a vidoe conferencing app?
For Python specifically, In addition to using rust-cpython or PyO3, maturin makes it really comfortable to build, package, and publish Rust code into Python packages and, if your niche doesn't quite fit, there's setuptools-python which might do it.
-
Does rust have function works like eval?
hlua or rlua are what you want for Lua, rust-cpython or PyO3 for Python, rutie for Ruby, and possibly deno_core for JavaScript.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SWIG and rust-cpython you can also consider the following projects:
cffi
PyO3 - Rust bindings for the Python interpreter
CppSharp - Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
lxml - The lxml XML toolkit for Python
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
rustpy - Rust + Python = ????
djinni
Rustup - The Rust toolchain installer
JavaCPP - The missing bridge between Java and native C++
crate-deps
JNA - Java Native Access
milksnake - A setuptools/wheel/cffi extension to embed a binary data in wheels
