I was instantly suspicious that a “new better format” for serialization didn’t open with the input/output. And this is why (fucking lol, gtfo):

    Q^mSat,3^b:d+s+E,4Fri,3^u:h+k+u,6Thu,3^P:j+

If you are effectively going binary, do it. CBOR or Protobuf or any dozen other binary serializations that would be far more efficient.

The author claims this is because of copy and pasting… cool, remind me what BASE64 is again?
