You do know that tensorflow was written in C++ and the Python API bolted on top?

I hoped it was quite obvious that by "other languages" I meant "other than Python and C/C++ in which they are written".
At least sibling actually mentioned Java.
You should read more carefully before responding.
I said "beside Python, and C/C++ in which they are written"
You: "you can see people are using it from C".
What a surprise that library usable from Python through wrapped C API has C API!
> Okay. Humor me. I want to write a transformer-based classifier for a project. I am accustomed to the pytorch and tensorflow libraries. What is the equivalent using C?
Use C++ bindings in libtorch or tensorflow. If you actually mean C, and not C++, then you would need a shim wrapper. C++ -> C is pretty easy to do.
It could be written in mix of Cobol and APL. No one cares.
People saying "oh those Python libraries are just C/C++ libraries with Python API, every language can have them" have one problem - no other language has them (with such extensive documentation, tutorials etc.)
