I wonder if it is feasible to create something like that. Because, a binary format requires specialized tooling, which needs to be created and maintained.
But maybe, with further adoption of WebAssembly, HTML will be less important in 10 - 15 years. :)
- codeflo 3y agoYou wonder if its feasible to create what, a binary format?
- MrGilbert 3y agoI wonder if there is a significant CO2 reduction from binary over plaintext, if you figure in the additional work that a binary format requires. As such I wonder if it is feasible to create a report, as it will never be able to factor everything in. You assume that there will be a significant reduction. I assume that we don’t know for sure.
