There's no i8 but byte, which creates inconsistency ;) -------- Oryginalna wiadomość -------- Od: Randy Abernethy <r...@apache.org> Data:01.12.2014 14:21 (GMT+01:00) Do: dev@thrift.apache.org Temat: Re: i32 vs int
One of the things I love about Thrift is its simple IDL. No aliases just simple self describing types (i8, i16, etc). We presently have one keyword for each feature of the IDL. I think the Pandora's box analogy is a good one. It is hard work keeping things simple.
