Hi Josh, thanks for the notes. Agreed there are many great ways to use protobuf, my main needs are source code oriented, so I'm scratching my own itch :). On Sun, Jun 3, 2018, 7:32 PM Josh Humphries wrote: > Hey, Derek, > This looks like a pretty cool project. One interesting thing about protos

Hey, Derek, This looks like a pretty cool project. One interesting thing about protos is that the language model has value outside of just generating source code: the same API should be able to serve the purpose of generating descriptors, for runtime/dynamic usage of protobufs. Is that a feature

Hey all, I've been working on this project in my spare time and its finally at what I would call 1.0 level. The concept was inspired by Square's JavaPoet library for Java which is used to generated Java source code. This library generates Protobuf source code with an intuitive Java API.
