But then we would never be able to treat text as a stream. All of your one pass algorithms would become two pass.

- jl258 7y agoI’m curious what you mean by this — why does coding for length prevent streaming? The receiving end can certainly treat the text as a stream still. Do you mean that the sender cannot “stream” if they are generating the contents on the fly? That seems trivial to solve - just break it up into chunks, assuming a little bit of buffering is OK.
