Cap'nProto Is so much better. Really a lot are, but Cap'nProto is main by the original protobuff dev so his description of why he made it is relevant. I use protobuff everday at work and honestly the generated code is incredibly awful conpared to pretty much any alternative. We're way to bought in to switch now though sadly.

Hi. That's me. I'm glad you like it.

Unfortunately, melony is right: I've only really been able to focus on the C++ implementation of Cap'n Proto. Some of the others are solid (e.g. Go, Rust), but many are sort of half-baked weekend projects of random people, which were later abandoned. As a result it's tough for me to recommend Cap'n Proto in polyglot environments. Maybe someday I'll be able to find the time / resources to build out the ecosystem more fully. Great tooling is really important for any of this to work.

I'm also an investor in Buf FWIW. I think what they're doing is pretty cool.

Hi, I like capnproto as well, thanks for making it. :)

[melony]

There aren't enough good cap'n proto code generators (compared to protobuffs/flatbuffs). It is not viable unless your stack is mainly C++.

[junon]

I use it in Rust just fine, FWIW.

Which are better? I don't even have a big list of xRPC/xBuf tool - only know of two (now three). Can you point to others?
