This is very cool! I’m most interested in the protobuf runtime - Rust has historically used Prost, which doesn’t pass the protobuf compliance test suite and isn’t Google-maintained. Google’s priority internally is cpp interop, so they use unsafe for protobuf - which the community is understandably not excited about.

(For full disclosure, I started the ConnectRPC project - so of course I’m excited about that part of the announcement too.)
