I understand that it is a problem but I'm more used to seeing arguments that monocultures and single implementations are bad: WebSQL for example didn't become a standard because there was only a single implementation.
- cryptonector 2y agoWhere is the monoculture here?
- kccqzy 2y agoIf there were only one implementation for ASN.1 people would decry that whatever that implementation does effectively becomes the standard, and people would be clamoring to write a second implementation.
- cryptonector 2y agoOk, but there are many implementations. And the ASN.1 specs are really clear and readable (once you have a mental model of them).
- kccqzy 2y agoYes, which is why the contrast with monoculture is interesting. Hence my original comment.
- cryptonector 2y agoAh, I see. Thanks.
