Why the fear of binary? 🤨
Nostr is popular because all kinds of devs can easily understand it and work with it. Binary would replace the very accessible JSON eventually and in the interim having both would be a little mess.
I think, we will switch to binary in the future but agree to keep it as simple as possible for now. Let's not throttle this Cambrian explosion of apps.
no fear here, just sense when implementation fronts design and design fronts understanding
Why lmao? I'm intrigued. It's a tiny penalty for those not using it but a x7 boost for those that use it.
I'd like these numbers to be double-checked by others in other languages for example before ACKing the PR but it's benign enough to not turn off developers that just want to try out working with the protocol.
I'm not reacting to technical merit, but to the way this PR got opened after "NIP 88"
