@ -26,6 +26,14 @@ It's recommended to use [`protobuild`](https://github.com/stevvooe/protobuild)

# Differences from GRPC
- The protocol stack has been replaced with a lighter protocol that doesn't
require http, http2 and tls.
- The client and server interface are identical whereas in GRPC there is a
client and server interface that are different.
- The Go stdlib context package is used instead.
# Status
Very new. YMMV.
