Neat, thanks for your response.
Question for you: on your roadmap[1] you write:
> Efficient binary data transfer
> This would allow for some interesting applications such as video streaming, file transfer, image processing and more. Binary data support was one of the key reasons Github chose to roll its own serialization format (BERT) instead of using existing options.
Why is BERT > MessagePack for this?

- sthatipamala 14y agoTo clarify, Bridge's binary serialization will be MessagePack. Github's BERT is also good for binary serialization but we decided to go with MessagePack because of its wide language support. I don't think BERT-RPC is necessarily _better_ for binary. But we referenced it in the roadmap as a good idea that we derived inspiration from.
