C++ is an Industry standard based on C. 
C++ Libraries can be wrapped by C-Libraries (extern 'C') if you have the source-code 
at hand.
C++ Libraries that are not wrapped can contain native C++ (for example class 
definitions).  
Then they can be called by C++ code only. It is not possible to call C++ Libraries
which are compiled with a different Compiler, because all C++ Implementations have 
different naming conventions 
for methods and parameters(name mangling). 

I don't say LLVM is better for PyPy than joeq. But I think it should be first 
considered what is right and second what is easy to implement.
