Tonic: Reasoning for prost rather than rust-protobuf?

Created on 23 Oct 2019  路  1Comment  路  Source: hyperium/tonic

Although I don't know much about the two libraries, on it's surface rust-protobuf appears to be more maintained than prost. What was the reasoning behind that choice?

@hugecheese Hi! In general, I find I prefer prost and iirc it is much faster. Don't quote me on that though. We've been using prost both in linkerd and vector so in general, I am very happy with that library. I have not really used rust-protobuf that much though. The other thing is that prost uses the bytes crate which is very important for us.
