Hi all! I plan on extending the current javascript thrift libs to allow RPC calls to be served from the browser. Through websockets (or socket.io), it is now quite feasible for the webserver to be the RPC client, and the browser to be the server. Collaborative web applications like group chat, simultaneous editing of docs and games are a few of the applications that could use this.
Has anyone done anything similar already? Is anyone else interested on working on this? I know the nodejs code generator already creates RPC call processing code, but that has to be modified slightly to work in the browser. Same goes for the node.js thrift libs (almost browser-compatible, but not quite). Please let me know who's interested so we're not working in isolation! Peter
