Let's talk about making portable libraries with Swift clients. Has anyone made a tool yet to autogen Obj-C wrappers for C++ interfaces?

Now you're just hurting me on purpose.

Do you have a better idea?

I have lofty ideas about how our code should be arranged, & C++ only factors in when you absolutely need cross-platform OOP.

You'd prefer C as lingua franca?

I get shit on for it,but yes. I've always found good C code to be more readable than C++, but "good" is the hard part there.

Yeah, I don't strongly disagree. I'm obviously not an OOP adherent by any means but find it easier to write good interfaces in C++

Good OOP interfaces? Or interfaces in general?
1
No, interfaces in general. Generics, references, lambdas, and better const semantics really help.

[…]But a good C codebase is maintainable until the end of time. I don't know if I would say the same about even the best C++.

(& to be clear, I'm *not* knocking C++. I use it every day. C's just my personal preference. Not trying to start a flamewar.)
