Binary Stream and Binary Types

[Kind&Deadly]

I've used a lot of languages, and I don't recall any of them having a sane standard way of dealing with binary data. If you point me towards some of them, I might be able to find useful CL libraries that work like that. Edi Weitz tends to have a useful library for everything. Actually, just looking at his libraries, he has one for binary streams with odd sized bytes (probably anything from 1 to 32 bit bytes): http://weitz.de/odd-streams/

And his stuff IS maintained.

Ok let me guess.


You REALLY think that having one guys set of librarys cover what is otherwise standarised on every other language in some way...(be it standard-lib or any other standard convention) rather than "oh look we were saying roll your own!, But some1 actually did it so now its the de facto standard "

IS ACTUALLY SANE?

HAHA

I feel trolled by even considering that wasnt some sort of Poe.

K&D, you might be happier with a different language. If so many things about CL bother you, why are you here?
