I'm interested in trying thrift generation in java and scala. Is it in a state where I can play with it? I don't see it in docs, but I see some implementation in code. I can't read the code well enough to tell how to try using it.

@fast-nail-55400 might be able to point you in the right direction

Iirc, it works, only does *not have some nice goodies yet, so we haven't declared it stable. I think the main thing missing is dependency inference; you have to manually add the dependencies, iirc

Was that meant to be "doesn't have"?

There are examples here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/example-codegen/tree/main/src/python/thrift_examples

So a

thrift_sources()

in a BUILD will generate for all backends? (so I'd just add the backend to my pants.toml)

Yep, exactly 🙂 same

thrift_source

/

thrift_sources

target for all languages

Wonderful, thank you!
