fbthrift needs 2GiB of memory to compile (https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift) and proxygen has a dependency on fbthrift.


Offtopic: I have a problem using fbthrift and cpp2 server together. I'm find that there is two IDL to C++ compilers that I need to use - one old thrift compiler written in C++ and the new one written in python. Code generated by both this compilers is used in tests! Is there any tutorial or article with step by step instructions?


That then begs the question of what in fbthrift needs so much memory... is it mainly due to heavy use of C++ features like template metaprogramming?


And then we go back to minimalism, Lua, ... always in this circle.
