Great post
One nit, with the font:
l4:spami7ee
the first two characters look an awful lot like the number "14", when they're actually "L4". I'm not sure if bencoding is case sensitive or if anohter font may better differentiate the two, but that may be something the author may want to poke at if they happen to read this comment :)
- fazfq 4y agoThe l looks taller than the 4 to me, which makes it clear it's not another number
- ben_ja_min 4y agoLooks like a one to my bad eyes.
- pianoben 4y agoI had the same confusion! In my browser, with the default monospace font, the two characters are so similarly as to be indistinguishable. Reading the next example, showing an encoded dictionary, was what made the penny drop. Bencode doesn't go out of its way to be visually accessible, so different font choices would help.
