Yes. Still, there is "Netlib", https://silvertunnel.org/ , and some
people are working on a revived JTor (client and relay),
https://github.com/koryk/JTor . Also, Briar showed some interest in
embedding Tor.

Additional implementations of the Tor protocols help to improve
documentation, and code bugs/vulnerabilities won't affect all of Tor.
