Pattern Matching in Ruby 2.7 (2019)

This is a big use case for me. I really want to use Perl but I favour Python because the CPython API vs XS, it's a no brainer. I haven't really looked into the Ruby C API but if it's sane I would use it as well.

Perhaps Raku is an alternative for you with its Perl roots and its NativeCall support: https://docs.raku.org/language/nativecall Also see this recent blog post for interfacing with C++ and Fortran from Raku: https://andrewshitov.com/2020/01/08/calling-cpp-and-fortran-...

Nice thank you. The last time I looked at Raku a few years ago when it was still called Perl 6 I hadn't considered native bindings. Will take a look.

As I just mentioned in this thread, there is a project called SWIG[0] which might be something you'd want to check out.

Thank you. I've heard of it and read about it a few times but haven't seriously considered it, but I will.
