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.
