Comment on SWIG author on the complexity of SWIG

Comments

I was one of the maintainers of SWIG's Ruby module during that rewrite he mentions, and I remember how difficult it became for me to really understand how the code worked. I would just hack features into the Ruby module and be glad when they seemed to work, but it always felt like a house of cards. Fortunately some more talented developers took my place when I gave it up.
