Where "everyone" is defined as environments where you can, and are
willing to interop with C.
This might be going off into a tangent about the early design
decisions of this system, but I suspect for most of us using Thrift,
if we had to interop with c assemblies instead of remaining completely
in our languages of choice, we wouldn't even use Thrift in the first
place. That is true for me.
