Connect for Go
Builds RPC services in Go that speak gRPC, gRPC-Web and its own simpler HTTP protocol from one implementation — callable with plain curl.

Where it applies
Jobs this tool actually does, and the surface each one is exercised on.
Materially easier for agents than plain gRPC — a Connect endpoint answers a normal HTTP POST with JSON, so no code generation is needed to make one call.
