Q: Why didn't you write this in $NEW_LANGUAGE instead of crufty C++?
A: I probably should have! $NEW_LANGUAGE is deservedly attracting a lot of attention for its combination of safety, readable syntax, and support for modern programming paradigms. I've been trying out $NEW_LANGUAGE and want to write more code in it. But for this I chose C++ because it's supported on all platforms, lots of people know how to use it, and it still supports high-level abstractions (unlike C.)
This post leads me to piggyback and see what people think of lambdabuffers (which are not my work but something I became aware of through the Haskell community).
Interesting. A year ago I was looking for something exactly like this for distributing data between multiple servers. Everything required a ton of overhead or was too big to use. I ended up just using json. I did discover that Brotli can compress 3 gigs of json down into just 70 megs nearly instantly.

As someone who clicked partly to check if it was Rust-based, I think that's a 100% fair call-out lol

What's the difference between this and CBOR?

I see what you did there...

I don't have much experience with similar tools but that looks quite interesting, thanks for sharing!

No problem! I plan to teach for them when/if iterop becomes difficult when sending data between WASM, Haskell, Plutus, and Purescript.
