C++ interoperability is a new feature in Swift 5.9. A great variety of C++ APIs can be called directly from Swift, and select Swift APIs can be used from C++.

What do you think about this feature of Swift?

It is nice they pretty much get it for free since Swift is so heavily integrated with clang. It also brings a lot of baggage and very slow compilation though. Ideally we would support C++ too, but for now just C is hard enough to start.

Also even without any technical limitations, figuring out a way to integrate C++ semantics in a way that makes sense is not easy.
