Yuxuan Wang commented on THRIFT-5708:
-------------------------------------
I don't think anyone is opposing it, but:
# This would require some significant changes to the go library and compiler
# IIRC protobuf actually created a totally new, separated, go library to do the
reflect based implementation
> Support reflection capability like protobuf

> Hello, Thrift team. I noticed that when using Protobuf, it provides
> reflection capabilities that allow us to access metadata and use reflection
> in generated code, like this:
> ```
> msg := pbdemo.Request\{Name: "abc"}
> m := msg.ProtoReflect()
> fds := m.Descriptor().Fields()
> fmt.Println("----- newReflect:")
> for k := 0; k < fds.Len(); k++ {
> fd := fds.Get(k)
> fmt.Println(fd)
> }
>
> ```
> I'm wondering if Thrift can also support similar functionality? For example,
> can Thrift record this metadata in generated code and provide reflection
> capabilities similar to Protobuf? This would make code development more
> flexible. Thank you for your attention.
