Swift actually has excellent C++ interop [1] (compared to other languages, but, I guess, not good enough for Ladybird).

I actually looked into that recently (calling C++ from Swift), and I was surprised by the amount of limitations.

Said differently: the C++ interop did not support calling the C++ library I wanted to use, so I wrote a C wrapper.

		Binding to C++ is an extremely difficult and complex problem for any language that is similarly rich and has lots of (seemingly) equivalent features. The number of subtle incompatibilities and edge cases becomes nearly endless. It's not surprising that some C++ code can't be bound properly.

		I did this a long time ago as Swift calling Objective-C++ which can call C++ libs, in that case OpenCV. So it wasn't awful but did require making an ObjC++ wrapper, unless I did something wrong which is also possible.
