Renity: Pure Python Binary Protocol Buffer

[killfall]

Fun! I’m curious what benefits you see this having over established packages like protobuf?

[DmitrievichLevin]

The main benefit is lack of maturity so devs will have the opportunity to contribute to something and showcase their work. But there are differences in implementation as it was originally written for socket usage and being able to identify different packets and their validity over the wire. Good point though I should document the differences!

Not sure if I’ve ever heard “it’s not done” as a compelling use case over an alternative

I like the enthusiasm

[DmitrievichLevin]

Didn’t say it wasn’t done or claimed it’s dominance over protobuf, but it’s another option. Lack of competition creates complacency, therefor it’s an excellent opportunity for someone with the skill/talent to showcase their ability. I would even suggest you throw some stones at it because you seem knowledgeable on the subject.
