What are rough milestones of this project?

huntlabs/grpc-dlang#15

• D grpc client can talk to Python grpc server, and vice versa.
• Java <==> D pair
• C++ <==> D pair

How does this project help the D community?

D is on an one man's island having trouble to cooperate with software components in other languages, due to unfixed bugs for a long time:

-- apache-thrift-d, LDC has build failure, because this bug (logged for a year now):

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22083

-- D grpc client cannot talk to Python grpc server, because this bug (logged for 1.5 year now):

huntlabs/grpc-dlang#15

BTW, apache-thrift and grpc are the most important two rpc frameworks used in the industry.
