You can also use IPLD without IPLD Schema.

No. There isn't even an any ADL implementation I know of for Rust.

Same for IPLD. I guess we have a different definition of data model.

Yes DRISL doesn't have a data model, it's just a serialization. But it's used by systems like ATProto and IPLD that have a data model.

Yes. So BigNum would be just bytes, which is fine you won't get any different results. It's the same for dates in ATProto. They are strings. If you need the information that they are dates, you need the schema, but it's optional. It would be the same for BigNum.

There is value in keeping a data model and the serialization small (e.g. it's easier for implementers). ATProto and IPLD do that. Things like BigNum would be at a different layer. Just like ATProto does it with dates. It's a string in the data model, but its own type in Lexicons.

Congrats! Dosas are so hard to get where I live.

I work with cryptography but I'm not a cryptologist, so very open to feedback and criticism here. For example, I should probably highlight the weaknesses of this scheme with degenerative plaintext (m=0).
Also would love to hear about fun problems + ways of introducing the topics to young learners~

In the Decision Framework section in "Use strongRef when". I don't understand the "Updates should propagate automatically". I would read it as "you can update a strongRef", but you surely don't mean that.
