The team that put together getdns aimed at "modern C usage". If that looks like Python/JavaScript/Go, it's because they are more modern. FWIW, I think the leaning of the team was much more strongly towards JavaScript than Python. > it > is a rather poor C API with so much ceremony and boilerplate as to be > essentially unusable IMHO. The DNS requires boilerplate: it just does. A boilerplate-free API for the DNS for any language is full of assumptions that are unlikely to be widely true. > If we want to see something adopted widely, > I don't think getdnsapi will be it. I would be thrilled if someone comes up with something more successfull than getdns, but to date no one has. As far as I can tell, no one has even tried. --Paul Hoffman (who pulled getdns together, contracted by Google)
