I checked the Thrift Wiki and found no information on how to generate
your own language. It may be easier to parse the Thrifit IDL file from
Revolution and generate the code than add the necessary bits to the
Thrift own code base to generate Revolution code.
I wish we could create externals from other languages, like python
or ruby.
The main Thrift library is written in C++ and that could be wrapped up
in an external if that would be easier then having a native Revolution
library. I think creating an external may be the way to go since it
would be easier to keep a Thrift external in sync with the current
Thrift library (drop in latest C++ files, recompile).
Once we have a Revolution Thrift library (external or pure Revolution)
then creating Revolution source code from IDL files shouldn't be too
bad. The problem is that I don't think companies necessarily
distribute their IDL files. I think they just distribute the source
created from the IDL files; at least I didn't see any IDL files in the
Evernote API distribution. Perhaps a Revolution program that could
parse the C++ files generated by Thrift and automatically create an
external project might be appropriate.
