I did not know it, but I think so few changes from the proto-buffer that it is a waste of time.

Note that this was written in 2011, while the first mention of "proto3" in protobuf repository was in 2014. So this blogpost probably influenced the development of proto3, which fixed many issues of proto2 (which is referred to as just "protocol buffers" in the blogpost).

Eh, I like Go and respect Rob Pike, but I seriously doubt gob had any impact on the proto3 design
