They are not. `std.serialization` does not and should not
compete in Thrift domain.
Huh? Do you know what thrift does? Summary: Everything that
Orange/std.serialization does and more. To the point: Thrift
provides data versioning, std.serialization does not. In my
book:
end of story, game over. Thrift is preffered choice.
Thrift is the preferred choice when choosing a library for ALL
your possible serialization needs and more. However, standard
library modules are not about including every possible
convenience, it's about providing solid building blocks for
creating larger frameworks.
What you're suggesting leads directly to the clearly idiotic like
"std.stdio sucks because it's doesn't have a printRainbows
feature"
