Skir lands schema-first codegen across languages

Skir is a declarative schema language that turns one `.skir` file into type-safe code for TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, and more. It also bakes in schema-evolution checks and RPC support, positioning itself as a modern open-source alternative to Protobuf.

// ANALYSIS

Skir is trying to make schema ownership feel stricter and less fragile than classic IDL tooling. The pitch is stronger than “better codegen” because it combines native-looking output, compatibility guardrails, and cross-language RPCs.

  • One schema can define data types, constants, and API methods, which makes it easier to keep frontend, backend, and workers aligned.
  • Compatibility checks are enforced by tooling, so breaking changes are more likely to fail early instead of surfacing in production.
  • The language coverage is broad enough for real polyglot stacks, but the long-term test is whether each generator stays idiomatic and stable.
  • This is most compelling for greenfield systems and teams that are already feeling protobuf or JSON contract drift pains.
