So it was a contemporary of Protobufs, Cap’n Proto, and other frameworks. Facebook had Thrift, Amazon had Coral, and so on.

They appeared almost simultaneously, for the very same reason: REST by itself is too vague and unreliable.

I think all of them came a bit later. And I do remember Thrift. With regret.
