   @Jens-G I think Thrift has been falling behind with major language support for the past few years. I understand that certain languages have breaking changes that are hard to follow up, but as a basic rule, the simplest protocols should not break (which is not the case in my current PR).
   
   I hope to get some attention (not just from you personally), but as a whole, how Thrift can evolve forward and combat other standards/frameworks such as grpc/protobuf. It's not like I prefer switching to them, but if basic language support isn't up to par, there is no reason for developers to stay with Thrift. I hope I expressed my concerns concise and to point, but if I am wrong, I am very open to suggestions and criticism.
