The current C API is quite complicated for consumption. It would be great to have a C++ binding with better developer experience for C/C++ users.

• Namespace
• Proper Structures
• TBD: Classes

Possible implementations

1. A single-header C++ library. The class structure can be inspired by the Rust or Java implementation. Java is a reference implementation, so the structure could be considered as a North Star for us

• Maybe: Java API export to C++ bindings boilerplate

2. Creating a new official Docker client for C++, and rebuilding a Testcontainers impl from Scrath => XXXXXL sized project
3. ? Connecting to another implementation over API

C++ Standard: TBD but something relatively recent

TODOs

• Define the approximate architecture of the API
• First PoC
• Include C/C++ binding into the distros and get a preview
