The "wrapping it with objects" bit is the important part I think. I
know you have more experience with C++ than I do, but what little I
know tells me that not doing the wrapping in objects would leave you
with a fairly poor interface for anything other than a fairly trivial
C++ program.

For perl/python/tcl/js etc the approach we have taken is an external
tool (like swig or pidl) to create an interface suited to the
language. Is there something like that for C++?

if only it were so!
