The other day I was discussing with a friend regarding GRPC/Protobuf and Thrift, and he told me about how the GRPC documentation was much better to Thrift as a result of him choosing it over Thrift any day.
And I think that's an issue with the current state of Thrift as well, when I was starting off with Thrift about a year back, it was considerably harder for me to get started with it than it did for GRPC/Protobuf because of the state of the documentation. The documentation in its current state seems disorganized and unwelcoming for the new user according to me personally, and I think it's the general consensus as well. Of course, there are independent blogs, ebooks books etc. on thrift, but I think the official documentation should be a bit more organized and easy to get used to. Can we attempt at making a new, more organized attempt at improving the documentation? I think starting from scratch would be the best at this point with the aim of making it newbie-friendly documentation with a clear explanation of the concepts and implementations. I'd like to volunteer to take this step if more people feel the same way and willing to help out. Let's make Thrift more newbie-friendly! Regards, Dedipyaman www.twodee.me
