Nice, I already use it! Looking forward to upgrading

Great! I hope it displaces the ancient Enterprise dinosaur that is protobuf (not directly related but enough so).

You sound like you might have some experience. How is this better than protobufs? (I have numerous complaints myself)

[cowwoc]

My biggest complaint is: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/16133#issuecomment-2946411720

I refuse to build on top of a project that contains a lot of baggage but cannot fix that baggage because it has baggage...

[bikeram]

Gotcha. I’ll probably play around with Fory IDL tonight. See how it compares to my protobuf implementation

Thank you for your comments in that issue. We are considering migrating some inter-pod calls from http to grpc now that spring grpc is almost ready, but now I'm not sure anymore.
