I've always thought of protobuf as a Java thing. It worked great in Java, but not so well in JS, especially with Kafka.

- antonvs 1mo agoProtobuf was never particularly a Java thing. You could more accurately say it was a C++ thing. It was initially developed in C++, and used mainly in C++ services at Google. The implementation and early ecosystem were C++-centric. Later, Go became one of the major Protobuf ecosystems, and today it would be understandable to think it was a Go thing.
