8. direct interface to C
Cython gives it too: it is as easy to write a Cython interface
module as to write a D interface file for a C library.
Hum, I do not agree at all. As I see it, D binds to C directly, Lua binds to C rather
easily, Python binds to C "complicatedly". (Lua's C interface layer is far
simpler than Python's, but it still cannot compare to D's direct calls in both
directions. The only issue AFAIK is that types, qualifiers and conventions do not exactly
match.)
cdef extern double fooC (int bar)
def fooPy (bar):
return fooC (bar)
I don't know how Lua binds to C, but I doubt it is any easier. Or
you could use swig which is even easier.

How would one be able to pass pointers around?
