As an aside, like all things Google, their C++ library is massive (14mb dll) and painful to build (takes nearly 10 minutes on my laptop).
- mb7733 11mo agoYeah and (1) the codegen produces massive headers that slow compilation of anything that touches them (2) the generated classes are really awkward to use. Not a big fan of the experience of protobuffer generated code in a large C++ code base. It's lead to a huge layer of adapters and native c++ classes equivalent to the protobuffers classes to try and mitigate these issues.
