Is OpenGL C++ or what?

OpenGL is a C api...and since C++ is mostly (but not 100%) compatible with C, it can be used from OpenGL. You can also find a C++ wrapper around OpenGL that allows you to use it in an "object oriented" way (e.g. Qt's OpenGL widget).

To be more specific, OpenGL isn't for any one particular language. It's most commonly used with C, but I've used it with VB and Java. It's simply a library of functions to draw 3D stuff.

Written in C with bindings for other languages.

ul, there is nothing in the OpenGL interface specification that says implementations must be coded in C, so your comment isn't very constructive. =)
