Sure. And on top of it, you are by no means bound to sockets. The modular
protocol/transport stack makes it possible, that's one of the really nice
things about Thrift.
For example, a stream transport is supported by a number of languages. It
basically serializes and deserializes the data into and from a
variable-sized buffer, not much magic behind. The buffer can be passed
easily to the other side, and vice versa.
Have fun,

Subject: Thrift as an in-process server?
Is it possible to use Thrift for in-process cross-language marshalling?
For a mobile or desktop app there is no particular benefit in running a
socket-based server, and it's much easier to install and start up an app
that makes an in-process call to a dynamic library.
So is this possible?
