Are you sure that using swiften is a good idea?
1. It does not support simultaneous connections to several accounts.
Actually there was a question about that in swift mailing list and the answer was that: "Noted, thanks - it’s on the list and Daniel (one of our GSoC students) is looking at this over the summer." However the summer was the 2015 one...
2. It does not support XEP-0313: Message Archive Management. Can't imagine a multiuser chat where you see only those messages when you are present...
The best one is probably Conversations (android) and in the Linux desktop area Gajim (pygtk). Also Psi (qt5) says that XEP-0313 will be supported in version 2.0 (currently 1.3).

I'm not talking performance here. I mean the maintainability. I've worked on a 50+KLOC python project and maintaining a bigger python codebase is a nightmare.
It's certainly true that due to the awesome flexibility and dynamic nature of Python you don't get some of the benefits of static type checking and linting overall is hard to implement (though Pylint is already doing a pretty well & improving).
On the other hand I think the static type checking provided by strongly typed languages is overrated - it will find only the most trivial issues, while any real mistakes in the application logic will still show up at only at runtime. So you still need a comprehensive test suite either way & it seems to be less and less acceptable these days to develop nontrivial suftware without having a good test coverage and using CI.
Also in the Sailfish OS perspective - we have Python 3.4 (letst stable is 3.6), which compared to the ancient GCC version (4.8 I think ?) is substantially newer and should thus enable the use of resonably modern Python features, unlike with the default C/C++ compiler.
So I don't really see any real issues with using Python on this and I think it's a really good choice given the current state of the Sailfish OS toolchain.

This was more than enough to drop obligatory pylint check at work. Especially the first issue.

As for the static checking in C++, yes, this is often not enough. Enter Rust!

The discussing Python vs C++, every language has his pro and cons.
I already made some prototyping for the modules in Python which works fine. I'm also trying the implement the same thing in Qt C++ to check out which way is the best one.
Currently I'm stuck a little bit between the 2 languages since I'm considering to add 3rd party support (at least the basis to do that) and this has pro and cons for both languages.

On 1)
I have not looked into the code about this until now. Someone will find this feature usefull, someone have only one account. It depends on the personal usage.
On 2)
MUC didn't need xep-0313 to work correctly in the client. The last recent messages of a group chat are stored on the server and will be send to clients which where offline. This is trivial implemented without the need of message archive management.

In my opinion it is also not a thing python vs c++. When I start a project I have a look at the available frameworks and librarys which are available to handle the features I need. I think that should make the decision. It's very hard to write most things again from scratch.
Personally I would not start to work on such a framework. The linked discussion on gnome mailing list about telpathy says all about this approach.
But hey, this is open source. Everyone who has a need is free to implement things that make his life easier. I wish you all success with Transponder!

schorsch, still, I think that we'll need to come around MAM sooner or later, anyway. I often receive some links on the phone but want to view than on the computer.
So this will wind up as writing PRs against swiften. Not saying that it's not the best solution here, I don't know the alternatives.

looks like it's been worked on at least since 2014: https://github.com/swift/swift/commi...fd446d6fc8cda8
though that commit is in 3.0 as well. Maybe it's broken?

The best one is probably Conversations (android) and in the Linux desktop area Gajim (pygtk). Also Psi (qt5) says that XEP-0313 will be supported in version 2.0 (currently 1.3).
