Much the same statement can be said about the Macintosh.  The API is
written in Pascal, or at least using Pascal-style constructs like
counted (instead of null-terminated) strings.  Yet, the overwhelmingly
vast majority of Mac applications are written in C or C++ these days.

All it takes is the right glue, and you can use any language you want.
