> having progressed beyond C I don't really see the issue with C APIs. IMO C is a fantastic integration point for a library which wants to have the widest reach possible. Interoperability with C is a solved problem in a wide variety of languages, so C APIs tend to be easy to integrate. Also since C is a fairly thin abstraction on top of what a computer actually does, good C APIs tend not to be opinionated about how they should be integrated. I would consider working with C APIs to be a basic programming skill. |

Plus it is about time to move from 70s style APIs.
