------------------------------------------------------------
Independent third parties develop and distribute Connectors in many other languages. Many third-party client interfaces are available. Most are based on the C Client Library `(libmysqlclient)` and provide a binding for some other language. 

Including: `Ada Cocoa`, `D`, `Eiffel`, `Erlang`, `Haskell Kaya`, `Lua`, `Objective Caml`, `Octave`, `Scheme SPL`, and `Tcl`. 

If you are considering using these APIs in your project, you must contact the developers directly to determine whether they provide support.
