discussion on whether dproto would belong in google/protobuf or not

[timotheecour]

replying to a private email I received so others can chime in here:

Do not you think that it's time to implement generation of D code directly into Google's protobuf compiler? As it made for C#, Go, PHP etc?

• dproto takes a unique angle taking advantage of D's CTFE by allowing compile time generation of protobuf types instead of relying on a protoc step, I don't know any other languages that do that (at least in https://github.com/google/protobuf)

• simpler syntax from other languages listed for getters and setters (in particular simpler compared to C++)

There are other differences.

So not sure how well it fits within https://github.com/google/protobuf

Here is new project https://github.com/dcarp/protobuf-d what implements plugin for Google's protoc.
