Cap'n Proto 0.8: Streaming flow control, HTTP-over-RPC, fibers
Kenton,<p>THANK YOU for not only designing Cap’n Proto but also continuing to work on it.<p>Before today, I had slight concern that in the face of Sandstorm, Cap’n Proto would fall in priority. Perhaps Cloudflare Workers are now making a great case for it?<p>My usecase has been Cap’n Proto w/ Python. Being able to do RPC is icing on the cake.<p>I will be looking into streaming fields of entities (classes) soon - the idea being decentralized microservices have local knowledge on how to transform and output a field and other modules/microservices just reach out to them and ask for the same.<p>A silly question: do you forsee any issues getting Cap’n Proto 0.8 to work over a completely locked down Docker environment that only allows HTTPS proxy as the connection between nodes that use Cap’n Proto RPC?<p>PS: Thoughts on why Cap’n Proto did not win over MessagePack? MessagePack had a better JS implementation? Is it the convenience of not needing to define a schema when using MessagePack vs Cap’n Proto schema requirement?
