Craig, I believe you probably did something wrong if you had to work with some library directly. Actually you generate classes from text description and just use them. I worked with Thrift some time ago, in 2015 [1]. I wouldn't call it awkward. Protobuf is fine too, but unfortunately we don't have any Protobuf-related projects this time. Also it's probably worth noticing that the GSoC project doesn't imply using any existing libraries, only the binary format which is quite stable. Christos, I appreciate your interest in the Thrift-related project. You should know however that we already have a student interested in it [2]. Feel free to apply for it as well but in this case be prepared for a little competition.
