Why do you want to write extensions? Why cant you write ruby code? If
you want to write and bindings for a library and the library is C++ then
you had better write the binding in C++ otherwise I recommend using C.

or...

I think I saw some benchmarking that said C is faster than C++ so if you
are writing a calculation heavy program then C may be a better option,
IMHO.

Good luck
