It is so bad.

Outside of Go (I assume because it seems pretty popular there) the clients for other languages are so hit and miss.

I had to pipe a json into the python client to configure a grpc client (which seems bad) and it took me a while to dig up the correct incantation.

I like the "contract" that GRPC implies but I am not sure I would choose it again.



Try twirp! Same protos for contracts, but everything is much simpler , saner and slimmer , and just uses standard http. It’s great.
