Yeah, the author calls to re-invent ASN.1, BSON and MessagePack. Something one
could expect from a guy that mainly knows Java: lack of experience and
knowledge about what is already there. Also lack of understanding why the heck
all the protocols are text-based.
- moru0011 12y agoYou did not get the point. Ofc there are many binary protocols available. However in the RFC's and standards one chooses to couple behaviour and textual protocol. BTW, do you really think a 20+ year software engineer has not heard of BSON, MSGPACK, SBE, .. ? Always consider you might be the person with lack of experience and understanding before allegating this to other people :P . My point is coupling of encoding and behavior, not the absence of suitable encodings
- dozzie 12y agoJudging from the article alone? I really think so. The article being published under Java umbrella, which is not exactly known for gathering good engineers, does not help here either.
- moru0011 12y agoIt still looks to me as if you did not understand the issue being addressed. Its not about absence of binary encodings. Regarding "Java umbrella, which is not exactly known for gathering good engineers", I won't comment on this quality of statements.
