I choose C or C++ depending on the approach I plan to use.  If it's
system programming, or anything procedural, I'm most likely going to use
C.  If it's some high-level modeling that excellently suits OOP, I'm
going for C++.

I can therefore only answer your question if you tell me what the
library will do.
