Hey @jimexist, are you still interested in landing this, or have you moved on to apache thrift (which seems likely given your work on apache/thrift#2556)? |
hi @benjamin-bader thanks for asking - i intend to do so but not sure if it's aligned with the project direction. e.g. in Apache thrift there's also a mechanism to register metadata but I find it lacking in thrifty. Any plan of sharing a roadmap for thrifty, e.g. how it'll expand into non Android platform? |
|
There's no roadmap whatsoever. What do you mean by "registering metadata"? I'm not familiar with that feature. |
i was referring to the fact that all apache thrift generated structs, upon loading, will call: to register field metadata, and then some of the frameworks will rely on this to meta-program clients/servers |

Huh, interesting. Thanks for the pointer! You asked about expanding Thrifty into non-android use cases. There's a nascent server implementation that @luqasn has contributed. It's based on Kotlin coroutines, so that's pretty neat. What it doesn't do is runtime reflection or introspection of the sort that metadata maps would enable. I don't personally have any plans to work in that direction, but wouldn't necessarily be opposed to accepting an implementation, should someone wish to contribute one. (If you or anyone else does want to do that, let's work through the design in a new issue!) |
