I think that JSON can be implemented very straightforward. A basic
implementation doesn't take more than a page of code, e.g.:

   http://rosettacode.org/wiki/JSON#PicoLisp

I think it covers all that's needed to convert JSON to/from PicoLisp
structures, and can be easily customized for specialized requirements.

And isn't it possible to call such Python modules?

Same here. I would simply call 'twidge' to access the twitter API.

Agreed.
