"A FAQ on the subject (http://www.cmkrnl.com/faq.html) says that using
 anything but C for this purpose would be like swimming upstream with a

I got the impression that using a _development environment_ other than
Microsoft's would be swimming..., because of the 'effort that MS puts into
their Visual C++ product'

About using other languages he says that you would have to convert the
header files into your own language (which he presumably considers hard work).
