Also with EDNS0, you can send larger messages over UDP, too, because you aren't restricted to a single UDP payload, but can send multiple datagrams. It's pretty cool how this tech has evolved. UDP has become so much more reliable

Yes, I'm writing a parser in Unison (in the Haskell family) for ASN.1 at the moment. It's so clean to write parsers with parser combinators. For example Asn1Type can be of form Builtin, Referenced, or Constrained. So a sum type.
