Pybind11: Python 🤝 C++⚓︎

Welcome to the NextCV development guide. Here, we'll show you how to make your Python code blazing fast when it matters.

🎯 The Philosophy: Smart Performance⚓︎

Our Approach

We don't rewrite everything in C++. That would be like using a Formula 1 car to go to the grocery store. Instead, we're pragmatic.

We follow a simple, three-step process:

  1. Prototype in Python: Build and test your ideas quickly.
  2. Identify Bottlenecks: Find the parts of your code that are actually slow.
  3. Optimize with C++: Rewrite only the critical parts for maximum impact.

This gives us the best of both worlds:

Feature Python 🐍 C++ ⚡
Speed Fast Prototyping Raw Performance
Usage General Purpose Critical Bottlenecks
Ecosystem Rich & Extensive Focused & Performant

Key Insight

We're not performance-obsessed, we're value-obsessed. We only add C++ when it provides a real, measurable benefit.
