Isn't this the goal of protocol buffers?

• yummyfajitas 12y ago
  No. Protocol buffers are about using a single protocol for all your (micro)services. Ilaksh is describing something closer to the goal of akka or erlang - you define the logic of your program, but it can be run as a distributed system or monolithically without changing your code.

    Makes sense, protobufs (or similar) are just one part of this puzzle.
