Is C API alive or not

I want to write a wrapper for OpenCV using different language. For obsious reasons I can only use C API. And I have two alternatives: write my own wrappers over C++ code and expose it OR I can take existing C API, but the drawback of this approach is my fear that C bindings may be abandoned.

I'm starting a new shiny project, but I don't want to write extra C code when I can reuse existing one. Or I can't?

I'm starting a new shiny project, but I don't want to write extra C code when I can reuse existing one. Or I can't? Because as I see multiple functions are missing, even very basic ones, like mat::zeroes or mat::eye.
