It would be great if Cap'n Proto had better library implementations. This is one area where Protobuf, MsgPack, and, of course, JSON win.

- dwrensha 12y agoCap'n Proto is relatively new, so yes, the tooling is less mature than for more established protocols. We've been making steady progress, though, and things are definitely usable right now. E.g. CloudFlare is reportedly using the Lua and Go implementations in production. Perhaps you're interested in helping? We love new contributors, and I can personally attest that writing an implementation of Cap'n Proto is a great way to really get to know a language. I've been waiting for someone to jump on Swift...
- _prometheus 12y agoWe should kickstart/bountysource more implementations. i'm sure plenty of hackers in-between jobs would take a few weeks to build these. Everyone would benefit!
