    Are there solid C interfaces that can be used?

    A large part of why I started using Julia is because calling into other languages through the C FFI is pretty easy and efficient. Most of the wrappers are a single line. If there is not existing driver support, I would pass the C headers through Clang.jl, which automatically wraps the C API in a C header.

    I most recently did this with libtiff. Here is the Clang.jl code to generate the bindings. It's less than 30 lines of sterotypical code.

    The generated bindings with a few tweaks is here:

    If you are interested in C++ interop you can also have a look at Clang.jl and CxxWrap.jl (the usual Julia package chaos applies, where the package mentioned in old talks and docs that you find on google is superseded by some others...)

    Kudos for your work. AFAIK, the recommended C++ interop for Julia is CxxWrap https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl. Could you provide the main advantages of using jluna vs. CxxWrap?

    I like about Julia that it is so easy to call packages from other languages. CxxWrap.jl for easy access of C++ libraries. I often use python libraries inside my Julia code.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Clang.jl and CxxWrap.jl you can also consider the following projects:

threads - Threads for Lua and LuaJIT. Transparent exchange of data between threads is allowed thanks to torch serialization.

LatticeQCD.jl - A native Julia code for lattice QCD with dynamical fermions in 4 dimension.

jluna - Julia Wrapper for C++ with Focus on Safety, Elegance, and Ease of Use

Torch.jl - Sensible extensions for exposing torch in Julia.

sol2 - Sol3 (sol2 v3.0) - a C++ <-> Lua API wrapper with advanced features and top notch performance - is here, and it's great! Documentation:

LibTIFF.jl - Clang.jl generated wrapper around Libtiff_jll.jl

Cxx.jl - The Julia C++ Interface

oorb - An open-source orbit-computation package for Solar System objects.
