I am very excited to try this out.

One day we are going to reach a convergence of really expressive typing tools (for interface description languages [IDL] and downstream consumers) that realizes the dream of effortless interop.

I bring up using protobufs everywhere Ive worked since 2014 when I learned much about them from a xoogler but so few people see the benefits.

I think tooling like Buf should help reduce the friction (and fear) I just need to carve out time to try it.

There is also a very nice Grpc curl that is like curl but protobuf and reflection aware. I think this is it. https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl
