No matter what kind of project I did after the C++ hype was over it was in C++ with as little as object orientation as possible just to make use of the advantages compilers offer for C++.

You need one or more interfaces to plain C libraries.

You should see pretty fast where you better switch to C++ as long as you keep this clear line to C libraries always intact.

You also should draw a clear line if your programs will be called from others. Draw the same clear line between C and C++ to avoid confusion and stick with plain C as much as possible.

Never forget, many of the object orientated principles also work with plain C.
