Julia 1.10 Released
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:

A new C++ <-> Julia Wrapper: jluna
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(the usual Julia package chaos applies, where the package mentioned in old talks and docs that you find on google is superseded by some others...)

jluna 1.0 & apologies
If you would still like to check out the 1.0 version of jluna, it is available for free under MIT license here. I also announced it on discourse.

Benchmarking jluna showed: Julia is faster at running C++ Code concurrently, than C++ is
jluna, the modern C++ <-> Julia wrapper, just released its 1.0 Beta. It had some major reworks and new features, one of which is multi-threading. Through some black magic, the native Julia thread pool was wrapped, such that you can run any C++ code inside a Julia task concurrently.
