As a counterpoint, here's a 2011 video of Bryan Cantrill claiming that it is "emphatically not the case" that the CDDL was specifically developed to be GPL-incompatible: https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=1375

For what it's worth, I pronounce "Cap'n" to rhyme with "happen", and sometimes I fall back to saying "Captain Proto".

Yep. You could fork our WordPress port[1], repackage it as your own app, and run it on any Sandstorm server. [1] https://github.com/dwrensha/wordpress-sandstorm

Cap'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

The Encodable trait sounds convenient for lots of use cases. However, speed and convenience are not the only things you might want; multi-language support and protocol evolvability are often also important, and when they are, something like

I can personally attest that it is straightforward to port Linux-based web apps to work on Sandstorm. Over the weekend, I ported a game of mine. You can play an instance of it here (warning, makes sound): https://alpha.sandstorm.

You're probably thinking of the original version of Cap'n Proto's schema parser, which was written in Haskell. The code generation step that it helped to handle is not a part of this benchmark. As far as I know, nobody has wr

Pycapnp is not pure Python. It wraps Cap'n Proto's C++ dynamic API. See http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/otherlang.html#supporting... .

I think the healthy library ecosystem is due in so small part to the fact that a lot of people want to learn Rust; porting an existing library can be an excellent way to do that.

I've been playing around with Cap'n Proto for six months now, and it continues to impress me. The original killer feature for me was the clean type system, but there's a lot more cool stuff going on, and a lot more to come, a

I don't think there's a problem here. We get two functions with a monad m: bind :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b return :: a -> m a These allow us to define then :: m a -> (a -> b) -> m b then x f = bind x (return
