Gratefully I know very little about CIM, but isn't it language
independent?
The prominent open source implementation, pegasus, is written in C++.
There is also SFCB which is written in C.
But an awful lot of the providers for pegasus are written in C.
The point is, C is a lowest common denominator and it's important to
support in a proper way.

Or are you referring to specific management apps written in C? If
they go through CIM, how can they talk qmp?
