protobufs for Pharo

Hey all,

Has anyone implemented protobufs for Pharo yet? I’ve not managed to find any examples, so I assume the answer is “no”, but I thought I’d check here before rolling up my sleeves and writing one myself. (My specific target here is to write a RethinkDB driver, so if someone has magically also done *that*, please let me know, too.)

Thanks,
--Benjamin

It would be a nice and welcome addition !

If you've gotta have prorobuf then you've gotta have protobuf but there is a thrift implementation (https://thrift.apache.org/) and also a message pack implementation (https://code.google.com/p/stomp-serializer/)

There are unfortunately a lot of protocols (including the one I
mentioned used by RethinkDb) that are protobuf-based, so using one of
those won't work too well. If interfacing with a third-party tool
*weren't* necessary, I'd honestly probably just use Fuel, anyway.

Hit 'send' inadvertently.  


Goran Krampe has gotten it as far as it is now.  I may have a use for protobufs to access a 3rd party library and would be willing to help get it finished in the event anyone else is interested.
