It should be possible to implement a gRPC like interface for writing and reading form a websocket as if it was a bidirectional streaming endpoint.

I'm thinking something along the lines of https://github.com/tmc/grpc-websocket-proxy but adapted for binary streaming rather than newline delimited JSON messages.

It kind of works 💯

I also mentioned this to myitcv, but there is a good CRDT lib now that is written in JS but i am looking to port to golang. The author also wants to port to golang.
Its useful fro network partitions of course.

here is the link.
