can we change protobuf to tokio-rs/prost?

[ningmingxiao]

tokio-rs/prost is more mature than protobuf. and may use less mem

[jprendes]

+1 on this prost is used by tonic and provides better ergonomics in Rust

@fuweid @wllenyj @Tim-Zhang Is an update like this something you would be open to?

Hi @ningmingxiao We have made technical reserves: https://github.com/containerd/ttrpc-rust/pull/173.

We can reopen it and move this forward @justxuewei.

@ningmingxiao @jprendes @jsturtevant Can you please help to advance this project, such as helping with testing and review?

[justxuewei]

Hey guys, I'm afraid that I don't have enough time for working on this recently. I managed to switch from protobuf to prost about two years ago, see https://github.com/containerd/ttrpc-rust/pull/173, as mentioned by @Tim-Zhang. But I think it needs to be revisited and improved. Any volunteer to move this work forward?
