My personal stop of contributing in CPython is that it is written in pure C !! I wrote code in both: pure C and C++, but I like writing code in C++, because it simplifies things without losing perfomance There are plenty of Open Source projects that could use more capable C++ developers. :) I'm not a fan of C++. It has its use cases, e.g. in UI. Python core isn't the best fit. AFAIK most core devs are not fluent in C++. Despite it's name, C++ is really a different language than C. It has a different ABI and stdlib than C, too. In my personal opinion C++ won't give us any net benefits. I'd much rather go for Rust than C++ to gain memory safety. Christian
Rust is not syntax compatible with C and that is why I suggest to use C++. If you are not fan of C++, with Rust there are also templates and sometimes even harder errors for life-time than C++ error template instantiation ))) Rust does not fit in 30 years code base written in C like C++ does
