Elektra’s API is written in C, but many different bindings allow applications in different programming languages to use Elektra.
Note that a binding does not automatically allow you to implement plugins in the respective programming languages, but you additionally need an Interpreter Plugin. Nevertheless, bindings can be immediately used in applications without plugins.
