I create this separate thread to track these two issues which prevent people from using D with the most important / popular two rpc frameworks (Thrift and gRpc) in the industry.

While other discussions are opinions or debates, these two issues are bugs, and need to be fixed.

Thanks!

For me, 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 4 months now):

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

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

https://github.com/huntlabs/grpc-dlang/issues/15

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