I agree, long term it would be good to have these available.
The lack of a C++/C library should not be a major issue. Python is very well established in the fields that the library is likely to be of most use (web, graphing, visualisation) and where it isn't there will most certainly be a command-line too.
On that note it is probably possible to write C++ library around the eventual Python API. Of course it will take a bit of work (and require a Python interpreter to linger) and it is not something I can claim much experience in -- but I can not see any reason why it would not be feasible.
