I’m working somewhere now where we’re building everything above the network transport layer from scratch.
We just built an in memory IPC and rpc protocol on top of UDP.
You can just do that. It’s not as easy to use as grpc+protobuf.
Probably not as fast, almost certainly not as correct, but you can do it.

- dartos 3y agoIMO the CTO hasn’t written production code since 2008 and doesn’t know about what modern software dev is like. He dreamt up a system which is basically AWS lambdas, but calls to services are abstracted by wrapper classes so it doesn’t _feel_ like you’re making a network call. Also, I think he just ignores what he doesn’t understand. I asked what he was thinking about using for our front end and he suggested using wisel, which is a proprietary, mostly unknown, C# to html+css+js package. He said it “paints widgets directly on the page from c#.” He believes that html+css+js is too complex, so ofc adding C# and a JSON style format that approximates css to the equation will make things simpler.
