Needs history and citation of earlier work from the 1980s

edit

Unix RDL/IDL file from the early 1980s pre-date and are the basis of gRPC and should be credited as such. The article does lacks NPOV as it portrays gRPC as new modern technology when it is not. It is following the technology Hype_Cycle of 7 years rolling out a new technology to discuss, promote, sell training for, implement, obsolete, retire and then make room for the next churn of technology.

gRPC is a binary RPC built on top of HTTP, the only novelty is the HTTP part. the binary RPC is not new and should not be promoted as such.

Question of neutrality in the Encoding section

edit

The article says:

Due to having a single specification, gRPC eliminates debate and saves developer time…

This is subjective, and the citation for it is not a reliable source.
