  I think most libraries out there are written in C rather than C++.
I suppose the ideology is something like "if I write it in C, it will
be still usable in C++, but I will get a much larger group of users
this way".

  Sometimes someone will then write a C++ wrapper to make it easier to
use the library. The quality of such C++ wrappers vary wildly. (In my
little experience the average tends to be on the worse side, unfortunately.)
