Very interesting. We use Boost.Python to provide Python binding for Bond [0]. It works well but having something lighter weight would is great. One big issue with Boost.Python is long compilation times. Does your library improve on that? [0

You are right, it is compile-time reflection, which I think is the most interesting one for C++.

There is a really interesting proposal to add reflection to the language: N4447 [1] (N3951 before). The idea is based on an observation that C++ already sort of has reflection-like syntax in form of parameter pack expansion [2]. I find this

Whether you like Go or not depends on whether you think of software development as engineering or as craft.

JSON [1][2] (in fact text-based protocols in general) is also first-class in Bond (Microsoft's framework similar to ProtoBuf). [1] https://microsoft.github.io/bond/manual/bond_cpp.html#simple... [2] https:&

Bond has 3 ways of working with serialized payloads: 1) Simple deserialization where an object is fully materialized. This is the simplest (you write your business logic against idiomatic types in your target language) but, as you note, mig

Our compiler/codegen [1] is all written in Haskell. That's a very significant part of Bond, but I wouldn't say that "everything else is just client libraries". All currently supported languages (C++, C# and Python

I think private offices are better for collaboration too. When I don't worry about distracting everyone around me I feel much freer to engage in a long discussion with one or two other developers in my office.

I think your points are valid, especially about wire format compatibility. Bond and Thrift are in fact close enough that providing Thrift compatibility is a real possibility. It wasn't high enough on our priority list to make the cut b

There's been a lot of questions on how Bond compares to Protobuf, Thrift and Avro. I tried to put some information at this page: http://microsoft.github.io/bond/why_bond.html

1) I didn't do a good job explaining this. You are right that if you want to materialize an object during deserialization you need to know a schema at build time to generate your class. But the crucial things is, and this is true of al

Cross-language support in such frameworks takes a lot of effort. Whenever you add a new language you really hit the classic 80-20 problem. We have support for a few more languages that we are using internally but after having a hard look at

There are two advantages to generating code at runtime: 1) In some scenarios you have information at runtime that allows you do generate much faster code. The canonical example is untagged protocols, where serialized payload doesn't co

You need Haskell only to build the Bond compiler. Once you do that, you get a native, stand-alone executable for your system (you don't need Haskell to run the Bond compiler). You use the Bond compiler as part of build process for prog

We are planning to release cross-platform RPC support but it just wasn't ready yet and we didn't want hold up the core release for it.
