Re: grpc being part of closure, goog.net.streams was developed for grpc-web; and goog.net.rpc (to be added) will have a generic stub for streaming and non-streaming requests + cors optimization ... but the node style grpc clients etc need stay outside closure (for the sake of both grpc and closure).

Right now a project I'm working with is using protobuf to pass data chunks back and forth between client and server. What may be the better conceptual design in this case is to actually expose an API through gRPC. gRPC seems to support Node.js, but does it support google's own closure-library extension to javascript?

What does 'go/grpc-web' mean? Are we to understand that there's a browser-based grpc client that it hasn't been released to the public yet? Are their plans to release it to the public and, if so, is there a time table?

Correct.

Yes, Q3 at earliest ... but not as part of closure (which supplies the implementation, e.g. the streams module).

You may want to drop varun...@google.com an email on your use case (e.g. the server-side stack).
