Advice for Implementing New Language Support

[ILikePizza555]

Hello!

Because the current C# support for Cap'n Proto doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, I've decided to implement my own support for C#.

The docs for doing this suggest to contact the mailing list for advice., which has apparently been migrated to here. I took a look around but I didn't see this question asked already, so I figured I might as well!

Any advice on making a new language implementation for a little upstart like me?

Hi! Glad to hear you'll be working on this.

I would recommend studying the C++ and Java implementations for inspiration. The C++ implementation is, of course, the most complete implementation, while Java is a somewhat more similar language to C# so might have some worthwhile tricks.

I can certainly dig in but I do find C++ code hard to read in general. I'll see if Java has any tricks.
