Nice.
We are using (https://github.com/whisklabs/grpc-ts)[whisklabs/grpc-ts]. We saved %80 of our bundle size by changing from grpc-web. Those generated proto-js files were big!
Just be aware of the lack of streams: https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp/issues/3
This looks very interesting! Anything that can move people away from protobuf.js (which seems to no longer be maintained and depends on prototype values for "default values" meaning that you can't send deserialized protobuf messages to/from web workers) and the "native" JS codegen by Google (which produces code that is both very slow and a awkward to use) is a win in my book.
We're currently using https://github.com/timostamm/protobuf-ts which has been fantastic. It's codegen is dependent on the protoc binary as it is implemented as a protoc plugin, but the code it generates passes the protobuf conformance tests. The generated code also outputs plain objects when deserializing protobuf messages which means it works perfectly when sending stuff to/from web workers. It also has grpc, grpc-web, and twirp clients.
