Hey, author of the post here. Do I think the C++ API is important? For most languages no. The OCaml bindings in my case were almost sufficient, but I planned to do some memory fences and other operations in my language that the OCaml bindings didn't have.

In hindsight, it's probs better to choose OCaml bindings and then link in any special instructions you need from C++ if you need to.

Regarding this post in particular, I chose to document everything in terms of the C++ API as that's the native API. You can use any of the other bindings, and just translate the syntax across to your language.
