Last time I checked there was no such thing as „Swift++“ (in analogy to ObjC++), which makes it impossible to „mix and match“ Swift code with C++.

The common denominator is C, so you could write „C function wrappers for your C++ classes“ (and vice versa for your Swift classes).

Or still use ObjC++ to glue the C++ and Swift world.

In any case you‘re dealing with 3 distinct languages (where C is admittedly „kind of C++ without the ++).

Not sure what would be less pain: C („no objects/classes -> cumbersome wrapper API) or ObjC++ („from which you actually want to get away by using Swift“).

Cheers,
