The protocol buffers stuff seems pretty cool. At my last job (small web dev shop), we had constant headaches over the class definitions of endpoints changing and some js file not having its model updated to correspond. I thought we should be writing XML files that both ends could be reading in - we never got up the political will to make that big change though.
