sublimetext3 - Creating a plugin for Sublime Text 3 in a native language with no python code -


i browse source code of of packages in sublime text 3 , see single file in directory , file has extenstion "so" , nothing else. wonder, real compiled file created in native language such c++? possible create plugin sublime text 3 in native language no python code?

python allows implement modules in native c , c++, api use interface sublime plugins supports python.

that means while conceivably write bulk of plugin in 1 of languages , not python, still need write python part glues native code , sublime together.

doing require compile native code of sublime platforms (linux, windows , macos) , presumably 32 , 64 bit version cover user possibilities.

as such it's not great idea unless need expose bit of functionality can't done in simple, portable python code. python documentation on extending c/c++ recommends not if don't have to.
