Awesome! The thing that I got stalled on was non-support for other
protocols/framing, which meant it wasn't really useful for real use. The other
blocker was support for async, which is pretty much a must-have for practical
uses, and the Rust async story is in flux right now with Tokio, etc.
> Not implemented:
> - Struct/union constants: Honestly, this looks like it's "not possible"
(tm)
> - Multiplexed processor
Have a look at [my repo](https://github.com/jsgf/thrift/tree/rust). I
implemented these with `lazy_static`. I didn't find anything that couldn't be
implemented; in general Rust and Thrift seem like a good match.
The main complexity I found was that you have to use `BTreeMap`/`BTreeSet`
if you want to use maps/sets as keys for other maps/sets, but otherwise
`HashMap`/`HashSet` are preferred.
The other tricky part was using `Result` to represent exceptions and
handling some edge cases around void functions which are extended to throw
extensions.
I'll review in detail.
