I kinda agree, except:

«twitcurl is a pure C++ library for twitter APIs. twitcurl uses 
cURL for handling HTTP requests and responses.»

https://code.google.com/p/twitcurl/
https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/twitter-libraries

And Go has two twitter libraries...

There were a lot more people doing cute stuff like that for D1, I 
think. It will probably come when D2 is more stable.
