Assuming you have no choice but C/C++.   That's why I like using the
jvm or clr with languages like jruby, groovy, or boo.  You don't have
to use C, you can use java or C# or boo itself (since it is statically
typed with type inference): http://boo.codehaus.org/
or C/C++ as well, although it is 100x easier to interface with a C lib
from the clr than it is from jvm with jni.
