I tried searching for a program which generates client libraries in different programming languages and failed.
Could you please link if something does it? From what I gather, the above mentioned sites only provide methods of describing the API and/or Automating the API on the server side. Nothing is said about client libraries.
I think that creates an API, then exposes it in numerous languages. This writes wrappers to existing APIs. Not the same thing. (Lots of code similarity under the hood, though.)
No, it actually does both - which is why I was so interested in it initially.
from the above link: "generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers"
TBF, I haven't used it as a developer, but I did contract work with a company that had invested in it heavily. From what I saw of their workflow, it ended up being a pretty nice bootstrap tool and little more.
edit: Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes, you're correct - thrift does not wrap existing APIs.
Why create a new format for describing APIs instead of using something like RAML? The client library generation is very useful, but it would be nice if there wasn't yet another format needed to describe the API.
There's this utility called swig(http://www.swig.org/) which let you create wrappers for C/C++ libraries to a number of different target languages (dynamic and static), though often time languages offer ffi on their own.
The code generated by this tool is rather heavy weight though.
Also I'm not quite sure if this is what you're looking for.

This is why we need a medical healthcare for nobody to have to continue to run a business instead of fighting against cancer and enjoying probable last moments with family.
If we had time travelers, they would have been already comeback in the past and meet us from the future. It is useless to look for them. Wait for them and do something else.
But what will be paying and when do we pay?
