Huh? Do you know what thrift does? Summary: Everything that
Orange/std.serialization does and more. To the point: Thrift
provides data versioning, std.serialization does not. In my book:
end of story, game over. Thrift is preffered choice. If you
are going to standardize something, standardize the Thrift
bindings so that the compiler doesn't introduce regressions
that break them, like happened from dmd 2.062 - present.

You don't provide any rationale for your assertion, so I can't
really respond more constructively until you do. Please
familiarize yourself with D's Thrift bindings, which work well
with dmd 2.061. Then provide a rationale for your conjecture.
