What part of the industry are you in where flatbuffers is seen as the de facto standard? Personally I've never randomly encountered a project using flatbuffers. I see protobuf all the time.
(I've randomly run into Cap'n Proto maybe 2-3 times but to be fair I'm probably more likely to notice that.)
- ynx 3y agoAs of the last time I was close, flatbuffer usage is or was near ubiquitous for use in FB's (ha ha, go figure) mobile apps, across Android and iOS at least.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoFlatbuffers seems to have penetration in the games industry. And it sounds like from other posters that Facebook uses it. I recently started a job doing work on autonomy systems that run in tractors, and was surprised to see we use it (flatbuffers) in the messaging layer (in both C++ and Rust)
