A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

I officially know way too much about async rust and I really wish I didn't

I’ve been feeling the same way last few days about protobuf serialization

Apparently the cosmos people use serialized protobuf for consensus critical hashing and that keeps me up at night. No idea how those chains are still running.

I've heard of it but haven't tried it out yet. It does have deterministic serialization though which might make it more viable for consensus critical stuff.

what do you think of https://capnproto.org/

its unfortunate that protobufs are *so good* at everything else

Tell me why your chain’s clients are almost all in one language without telling me

😂
