while Google have released protobuffers they have not released the RPC layer that is used with protobuffers within Google. this is a bit sad since Google's RPC layer is really neat to work with. of course, there are third party RPC mechanisms for protobuffers, but as long as there is no one "blessed" solution, it has failed to get much traction. I wish Google would release their RPC layer and I have been pestering Chris DiBona every 6 months or so to release it, but apparently, everybody over at Google is terribly busy doing more important stuff :-) as for criticizms of Thrift I'd rather hold off on those until I have enough spare time to actually contribute solutions. -Bjørn
