Xooglerware: a genre of software built by former Googlers.
Key traits: Uses Bazel & protobuf (but strangely most protobuf v2), written in either Go or Java, uses 17TB of memory, burns three forests due to a clever algorithm, requires you to know the author as a friend to one-shot compilation

damn i want my own protobuf decoder

i kinda hate how so much of the rust ecosystem insists on shipping the code generators themselves instead of the generated code. when my project doesnt have any protobuf idl files i bloody well shouldnt need protobuf installed to use your crate!! stop that! just generate it for me!!

Protobuf finally has LSP support. You’re welcome.
Buf is proud to announce the first fully-featured, production-grade LSP server for Protobuf. The Language Server Protocol is the standard API for integrating language support into your favorite IDE or...

I'd be more inclined to hear a talk by CrowdStrike about "We made Protobuf faster by using unsafe memory operations and trusting the caller" if they hadn't caused a global computer outage by using unsafe memory operations and trusting the caller. youtu.be/eWZ8pNMpqcU?...

(here, BSR is a "Buf Schema Registry", meant to register your protobuf schemas so that schema evolution is relatively safe. I think the Oxide solution to this problem is significantly better along every dimension, least of all that it's FOSS and you can use it too!)

it's so strange to me anyone calls it "protocol buffers". it's called protobuf. I worked on it. it's called protobuf

This is a new, optional version of the generated code API which hides the internal implementation details. It’s been in use inside Google for years now. Congrats to the Go protobuf maintainers on the open source release! #golang
