    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(the usual Julia package chaos applies, where the package mentioned in old talks and docs that you find on google is superseded by some others...)
