Recommend and endorse a good Twitter library
Twitter could include a list of approved Twitter libraries for different programming languages in the documentation. This would equip developers with robust resources and help them know which resources they can rely on to use the Twitter API.

We did revise the current list https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/twitter-libraries.html a few weeks ago, covering the standard APIs (with a few with Ads API and premium API coverage)
We'll be looking to identify additional, up-to-date libraries that cover the new functionality supported by Labs as the endpoints graduate, so do let us know if you are aware of any!

Thanks Joe - the interest in .NET Language support is noted. We're fortunate to have a couple of good third-party ones at the moment (as you know!) and as we expand the new API surface I'll see what we can do to support the developers.

@Pipes - .NET Languages
Good to see new traction in the API and Labs is a good start. Getting access to all features and APIs has been a challenge on occasion and it would be great if Twitter reached out to library developers.

With the OpenAPI specs available, you may find a new generation of libraries emerge (or that developers typically roll their own lightweight wrappers) so I'd expect this area to change quite a lot with modern, described APIs

On my personally biased list: Python, Java, R, Javascript
It would also be great to have a rough idea of what APIs are supported by a library - eg: which support Premium APIs / Streaming / Standard REST etc.

Absolutely. It might entail a cleanup of the current list (which is outdated), and some form of endorsement and/or closer relationship between Twitter and the library developers. If we were to partner with developers in 4-5 frameworks, which languages do you feel might be most valuable - apart from PHP? ;-)

Would this be a more curated version of the current libraries list? https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/twitter-libraries.html
