Kaitai Struct: A new way to develop parsers for binary structures
I contributed a number of file formats a few years ago (and attempted numerous others) but ran into a number of problems with certain file formats:
1. It's not possible to read from the file until a multiple byte termination sequence is detected. [1]
2. You can't read sections of a file where the termination condition is the presence of a sequence of bytes denoting the next unrelated section of the file (and you don't want to consume/read these bytes) [2]
3. The WebIDE at the time couldn't handle very large file format specifications such as Photoshop (PSD) [3]
4. Files containing compressed or encrypted sections require a compression/encryption algorithm to be hardcoded into Kaitai struct libraries for each programming language it can output to.
The WebIDE I particularly liked as it makes it easy to get started and share results. I also liked how Kaitai Struct allows easy definition of constraints (simple ones at least) into the file format specification so that you can say "this section of the file shall have a size not exceeding header.length * 2 bytes".
Some alternative binary file format specification attempts for those interested in seeing alternatives, each with their own set of problems/pros/cons:

Sleekiest Python Trick you know.
Traditionally, you import a package and then use things from it to do a task. However, it is actually possible to have the import itself do stuff; I used this technique in python_ms to replicate the original JS module down to its import. And fuckit did it way before that.
- Fuckit.py makes sure your Python code runs whether it has any right to or not
