proto predates gob by quite a bit. gob was introduced with golang, and it's not really used anywhere else.

- erik_seaberg 4y agoMy takeaway from Java serialization (which became passé) was that a schema-driven encoding that’s supported in many languages is a lot more useful.
- adra 4y agoJava serialization is passe largely because it has huge gaping holes in how one can abuse the serialization loaders to perform very unsafe security holes. And it's incredibly slow, and tied to JVMs, but sadly only really tied to JVM that have the exact same version and serialized objects, etc.. did I mention java serialization sucks? (Spoken by a true java lover that that subjected himself to serialization way more than he wanted to)
