Interfacing to compiled C++ libs have been tricky, so can this concern be dismissed so easily? (Some examples that came to mind were _import_array--easy to fix because it is ours, I guess--or Cython generated code). > A really important point to emphasize is that C++ allows for a strategy where we gradually evolve the codebase to better incorporate its language features. This is what I'm advocating. No massive rewrite, no disruptive changes. Gradual code evolution, with ABI and API compatibility comparable to what we've delivered in 1.6 and the upcoming 1.7 releases. If we're to switch to C++ (a language that can very easily be wielded in terrible ways), then this certainly seems like a sound approach. Regards Stéfan
