    I don't think it's going to happen with only a couple languages with good support. Messaging is fundamental enough that you don't want to swap libraries if not necessary, which means I won't choose it if the languages our products use are not well-supported. Just as a couple of examples:

    - Node (& JS in general) have three implementations. One[1] mentions in the README that it's a hacky wrapper, the interface isn't final and the implementation is slow - for 9 years now. Another one[2] without support for RPC hasn't been updated in 4 years, and the last one[3] for 10 years.

    - Lua[4] has been updated sporadically over the last couple of years, but the README mentions it ONLY works with LuaJIT v2.1, not with current Lua versions.

    Currently it's hard to justify using it in a long-term project, considering how much broader the language implementations for Protobuf are. They also aren't perfect, but there is a lot more buy-in.
