Stig Bakken commented on THRIFT-2940:
-------------------------------------
[~roger.meier] I tested out a similar approach a few months ago, having a
thrift file describing thrift itself, inspired by the way protobuf is
self-describing. You run into a bit of a bootstrapping problem in the project
though, since the compiler would start depending on the C++ library, which in
turn depends on the compiler.
However, if using the JSON generator, you get away from this predicament, and
you can actually write standalone code generators, documentation generators,
linters or whatever in any language.
