Spent a good portion of my @nim_lang talk on why C++ interop is so important and showing how much easier it is with Nim vs. most everything else.

@deech @nim_lang I love Nim but it really needs a big backer otherwise it’s always going to be relegated to being a novelty language.

@deech @nim_lang nim is generally quite good here, but there are still some c++ tricks which trip it up, one example is type erasure tricks some libraries use

@deech @nim_lang interop with c++ is one of nim's killer features, along with pragma, and the meta programming
