Hello,

I can think of two advantages SWIG has: It is relatively easy to
create bindings for several different scripting languages from the
same interface definition. And in contrast to most FFIs I know it is
relatively easy to create wrappers for C++ libraries even if you need
advanced features like inheritance chains crossing the language
boundaries.

Ciao,
Thomas
