Why?
We can provide a generic QMP dispatch interface that high level
languages can use. Then they can do fancy dispatch, treat QErrors as
exceptions, etc.
Because more than likely it will be more efforts than doing the same work in
the native language, forcing certains designs [1] up to high-level-language
developers throats, and possibly less stability (segfault, memory corruption,
memory leak, ..) specially in development phase.
[1] lack of separation between IO and pure functions, file descriptor versus
stream, C memory functions instead of GC based, and probably lots of other
things easily accessible from high level language.
