Heard this episode this morning.

Really refreshing to get an insiders/authors view of what drove the istio project to be developed from the ground up, as a pure open-source project and the need for collaboration between organizations and open-source contributors.

Louis Ryan does a great job comparing and contrasting the gRPC model of using a library, something he has personally worked on years, vs adopting the Sidecar model in istio and how it benefits the 'E’nterprises.
