Mind commenting on what you think would be better? Personally I'm in love with the idea of protobufs, but I'm not terribly sold on the implementation. The language is great, but the mapping to code languages is not great. Eg, to make great idiomatic Go code, I need to litter my Protobuf with extensions (via Gogoprotobuf) and the readability of the Protobuf sort of goes down the tubes. So I think the idea behind Protobuf is great, and the syntax itself looks great, but a small tweak to how it handles code generation would be very welcome. Likewise gRPC feels quite verbose. I use it, but conceptually I massively prefer simplistic implementations like Twirp[1]. However, again Protobuf handles this really nicely in that I can use the same Protobuf file to describe a Twirp or gRPC Service - it's great.
