How would you articulate "the protobuf problem" to a gRPC novice like me?
Also re http/rest docs -- check out my open source project -- it's sort of like Git but for Rest APIs https://github.com/opticdev/optic https://github.com/opticdev/optic
- asdkhadsj 7y agoI go over it in a bit more detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21621592 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21621592 But in short, Protobuf is inherently a language of its own. Like JSON or etc. But it's feature rich enough that it can cause a fair number of incompatibilities between a language's preferred style or usage of features. Where the incompatibility shows up depends on the language. I found it to be very different between Rust and Go, for example.
