if anyone has been wondering: "SODEP (Simple Operation Data Exchange Protocol) is a binary protocol created and developed for Jolie".

So far i didn't find any indication that Jolie supports grpc; I think that it would be very helpful if the developers decide to support grpc as well.

Wow. This looks really promising. I always found it a bit awkward that you have to bend the other languages to fit in the microservices model. I mean, yes, it's easy to do so in some of them but still there always seems to be a lot of boilerplate that you have to reiterate again and again. I think it was about time to have a language that takes care of the basics. Another one that I had in mind was ballerina (https://ballerina.io/) but unsure how it actually fares so far.

Interested to hear production or even PoC stories on both of them.

Thanks for sharing.

Who actually wants this? People want good libraries for doing this with the languages they already use, not to have to make compromises just so they can have a microservice. Notice that the front page gives lots of examples of the servicey parts of the code, but absolutely no examples of what the business logic looks like. In fact, even in the documentation, the example code is minimal and trivial.

I want it. There are people who don’t mind learning a new language if that’s the trade off for having to write services by hand, especially if the language isn’t so drastically different from what they already know.

Looking at the stakeholders section at the bottom, this looks like the typical academia project that is, currently at least, far removed from the real world.
