Interesting! Thanks for the links. As for programmatic, I was thinking more along the lines of "can be compiled into a binary like a normal C library". Such that the app can invoke Tor functions via some C interface (and without the corresponding overhead of an intermediate localhost socket). It's not necessary for my current use, but would be helpful if it were to be tightly integrated with some other application.
