Show HN: Mirror_bridge – C++ Reflection powered Python binding generation (github.com) 29 points by fthiesen 7mo ago ↗ HN
[–] sheepscreek 7mo ago ↗ This is very cool. If it can reliably work even for the examples provided, one can wrap a lot of C++ methods comfortably and reduce a ton of friction.Is the 2026 spec still at the draft stage?Update: Nevermind - just read that it only works with Bloomberg’s clang fork. Hopefully it’ll land in upstream clang soon. [–] fthiesen 7mo ago ↗ It is making it's way to GCC as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1ojbv1a/gcc_implementa...It is officially part of C++26, so only a matter of time before being part of the major compilers (:I've added a pre-built image in the github repo, feel free to try it out if you are curious and let me know if you face any issues/bugs!

[–] psyclobe 7mo ago ↗ But why isn't it in Rust? I thought all new code had to be written in Rust? [–] fthiesen 7mo ago ↗ lol [–] sheepscreek 7mo ago ↗ Bruh...reflection. No can do in Rust.
