One interesting problem with this kind of book is what programming
language to use. The book is not about a programming language, but it
has to contain code examples. Whatever language you pick, you will
turn away potential readers who don't know that language. For example,
it looks like the code

to their API in, say, 3 months and totally alters everything? It has
happened before; it will happen again! This isn't a particularly
mature platform to be writing about, especially with a publication
date 6+ months away!

Also ... streaming? Ratelimiting? Whitelisting? How do @s work? Are
you going to cover Sign-in-with-Twitter? How about guns for cash? The
