It is this transpiling from python to C++ that I want to avoid. Especially because there is a lot of iterative development on the C++.

However, I'll essentially never be able to run my code from a notebook because it runs on a cluster I need to SSH into. Thing is, I'd like to develop that code locally and iteratively.

But I thought you said you already re-wrote it from python to c++ anyways? I was trying to point out it doesn't have to be either/or. That being said, I think the fact that you need to get access through ssh is another hurdle all together.

I switched once I needed the performance, but that was not near the end of developtment. The switch was made far from a point where the code, or even the algorithms were finished.

Thus it was required to do a lot of incremental development in C++. It wouldn't make sense to add in a manual transpilation at every increment, and I needed the actual C++ code to judge performance.
