Is there a roadmap/estimation for the gRPC implementation?

I checked that there is a branch to support it on JVM, what about the rest of the targets?

[Alexander Sysoev]

Hey! No roadmap atm. The next target after jvm would be K/N. But how and when it will unroll - I can't give any estimates

[Javier]

K/N means all native targets or iOS?

[Alexander Sysoev]

At sone point all of them, where gRPC can run (not sure about watchos for example)
If where will be only ios at first, or only linux, it is unknown now, we didn't the research yet

[Javier]

Are you in touch with the grpc team? There is an open issue for this in that repo.

Maybe they should move to use kotlinx-rpc

https://github.com/grpc/grpc-kotlin/issues/51

[Alexander Sysoev]

No, we are not communicating on that, and I see no progress from them on that matter
We may drop a message to them before the design process will start on our side to explore our options, but I don't think they will move to ours, as the change would be drastic.

[Alexander Sysoev]

Thanks for letting me know though!

Is the jvm implementation working at all if you build if yourself? or is there a eap/snapshot repo?

[Alexander Sysoev]

Nope, there are a couple things left to be done for a bare bones working version

[Luca]

also, any chance a grpc web client will be considered down the line? @Alexander Sysoev

[Alexander Sysoev]

Yeah, probably, but it's a long way there
