False. The official wrappers support C++ from OpenCL 1.0 on. Maybe this isn't obvious because the C++ bindings were introduced later, but they're backwards compatible and you can set the target API level. (And of course you use 1.2 if you need to support lagging vendors such as NVIDIA)

I have no idea about the other languages but surely other bindings must exist?

No one is speaking of wrappers here, rather C++ kernels, which is what matters, a full C++ experience.

Yeah, the usual poor man's solution of generating C code, thus introducing two compilation steps, without any debugger support.
