Integrating with C is easier than with C++ but it still needs those safe wrappers. With C++ you can use stuff directly, and maybe sometimes have to convert between say C and C++ strings. Integrating with C++ is much harder, especially if some C++ features are used. What if you have to inherit a class to do something? What if there is a generic function that you need to invoke? Even tasks as simple as catching exceptions are difficult. Things have improved with dtolnay's cxx thankfully.
