gollark: I thought about that, but:- strings in a binary format will be about the same length- integers will have some space saving, but I don't think it's very significant- it would, in a custom one, be harder to represent complex objects and stuff, which some extensions may be use- you could get some savings by removing strings like "title" which XTMF repeats a lot, but at the cost of it no longer being self-describing, making extensions harder and making debugging more annoying- I am not convinced that metadata size is a significant issue

gollark: I mean, "XTMF with CBOR/msgpack and compression" was being considered as a hypothetical "XTMF2", but I'd definitely want something, well, self-describing.

gollark: Also also, why a binary format?

gollark: Also, XTMF can do runtime update, you just need to allocate, say, 4KB at the start of the tape, and write metadata to that. The offsets might be fiddly, though.

gollark: You should probably not do that.
