So, I'm going to be working with protobuf messages for the next while. Is there any technical reason protobuf/avro isn't supported as an http4k-format module? Or has there just been no interest up until now?

Lol. This is going to be mostly new to me. I have need to embed binary in a structured Websocket message, so I figure protobuf is the right tool for the job. If it works out, I'll see if I can submit something.

My condolences for your past trauma

As mentioned above, the actual implementation of GRPC is pretty simple from an HTTP perspective.
