Arguably, the best use case for C is in libraries, or at least the C ABI. It's a pain to get C++ libraries to be used with other languages, but C libraries are pretty trivial for FFIs. Granted, you can use C++ to do this, but if you're gonna extern "C" everything, you might as well just write in C.

Not everything, just the exposed functions.

I don't know why /g/ pretends that making C++ extensions is somehow extremely difficult. I've implemented plenty of CPython extensions in C++ and I've extended Java code with JNI/C++ for over a decade.

It's fucking trivial, and no, it didn't require wrapping half the code in extern "C". I truly believe that the reason people continue to spout that bullshit about "hurr durr broken ABI" is because some poster read that somewhere on a blog in 2005 and others on /g/ are repeating it because they don't really know C++ and need to justify their ignorance.

It's not that it's difficult, but there are some gotchas. One of those gotchas is exceptions, which are basically undefined behavior outside of the context of a C++ program.

Well, that's true for C++ in general though.
