A number of C bindings are in Deimos, so anyone looking for C bindings should look there. How much any of them need to be updated, I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to look there regardless, and many C libraries simply don't change much. Regardless, Deimos certainly isn't dead - but remember that what's there for any given project is there primarily because a single developer needed it for one of their own projects and took the time to put it in Deimos for others to use. So, if they don't need more work done on it to do what they're doing, and no one else adds to it, then what's there probably isn't going to change. That doesn't mean that it's not useful though, and if someone needs bindings to be added to it or updated, then they can always create pull requests to do that. - Jonathan M Davis
