Skia Canvas: Browser-Less Implementation of the HTML Canvas Drawing API for Node
I understand that a Skia Canvas should work with almost any programming language with just bindings [1]. I don't see anything in particular with Node.

State of Python 3.13 Performance: Free-Threading
> it’s extremely easy to replace parts of your Python code with something like C
I tend to use C++, so use SWIG [1] to make python code to interface with C++ (or C). You can nearly just give it a header file, and a python class pops out, with native types and interfaces. It's really magical.

How to scale a Django application to serve one million users?
If you’ve tried all of the above and still have a bottlenecked application, you’re probably squeezing too much out of Python and need the speed of another language. But don’t worry, you don’t have to redo your entire application in C or C++. Swig allows you to create modules in C, C++, Java, Go or other lower level languages and import them directly from Python.

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!
