We have open-sourced Stone though, our system for specifying APIs and generating libraries for those APIs, as well as our API spec itself. Using those, it's possible to write a generator to build a library for any programming language of your choice.

If anyone builds a third party library using that, we'd be happy to take a look and list it on the Community SDKs page.
