And on to orbit, grats to Blue teams that have put insane amounts of work into this especially over the last year.

And yes, I will also want to identify when an enumeration is contiguous and bypass the lookups for converting to/from sparse enumerated numeric values.

My only initial exposure to MrBeast (before I knew who that was) was the annoying yelling guy in those damned honey ads on YouTube. *Then* I found out 2 years later he was a huge youtuber and I never had any interest in watching them.

It's funny, I always thought network order was big endian but protobuf goes little endian for things.

At this point I'd rather just come up with something that isn't a PITA to implement in other languages (no classes, stick to scalars and arrays of scalars, maybe maps). The generation for other languages is the only thing keeping me in this game. Still need higher layer for delimiting and msg id.

I kinda don't like gRPC at all. At least in LabVIEW. RPC just sounds like commands and replies with more abstraction which is exactly what I don't aim for with a real-time control system.

Guy I'm trying to work on this (new comms layer for high performance test SW stack) with was like "what if it was protobuf?" so figuring out making that work and the NI stuff isn't usable for this case at all so here I am proving out a prototype.

Make it less work to integrate with other platforms, build scripting for interacting with test systems, etc.

Welp, looks like this is the account for me.
