Protocol Buffers

Overheard in the restroom at a recent Web 2.0 gathering:

"Did you see that new RPC stack that Google is wearing? How gauche!"
"I know! It's so last season..."
"The whole thing is just so...I don't know...petty bourgeoisie"

And here I thought all the cool kids were doing REST. Silly me.

I've heard Amazon uses a similar home-brew binary protocol internally for all their services.
