Is there a good RPC framework for D?
Last time I needed one, I used Thrift. D support in Thrift is maintained upstream. Unfortunately, the version available in dub is really old. Also unfortunately, it's std.socket only -- no vibe.d.
https://thrift.apache.org/docs/features https://github.com/apache/thrift/tree/master/lib/d
requirements: * efficient (no json/xml)
Thrift uses a binary format relatively similar to protocol buffers.
* supports at least sending/receiving raw bytes
Thrift supports a `binary` data type representing a byte array.
Additional requirements: supports streaming data (either input or output or both)
I'm not sure what you mean by "streaming data", precisely, but Thrift supports multiple RPCs per connection. This alone made a huge difference in my testing: a Thrift server on an AWS t2.micro managed 2400 requests per second across ten clients, while HTTP handlers returning a fixed string only managed 75.
and timeouts.
Definitely supports timeouts.
