gollark: Too bad, I WILL implement length terminated strings, none are safe.
gollark: For portability the endianness is of course fixed.
gollark: With length terminated strings, you go through the string incrementing the length until you see *a valid integer representation of the length*.
gollark: I'll try and explain explanatorially then; with null terminated strings you basically go through the string incrementing the length until you see \\0, right?
gollark: Why? Maybe implementing it would help. Hmm.
