Ask HN: What's your favorite programmer niche?
As of recent I've been weirdly fascinated with codecs, serialization protocols, file formats, and the like. It scratches that low-level hacking itch (I spent most of my professional programming in web dev space) without as much commitment to electronics (used to be super big into arduino but I find that's harder to pick up and put down).
I've started hacking on my own container format (yeah, I know, xkcd927), after finding it super frustrating to embed arbitrary time-synched data streams into mp4/matroska/ogg/etc. Also it bugs me how crusty, complicated, and arcane mp4 is, and at the same time, mastroska and ogg are weirdly opaque given how they are supposed to be open standards.
If anyone is curious, here's my container format I've been developing: https://github.com/xkortex/sito

C++ Show and Tell - October 2022
recently I had the need for an archive format where file access could be mmap'd and with very fast random access to the contained files. not sure if I managed but if that can be useful to anyone: https://github.com/celtera/uvfs ; ideally i'd like to investigate how to serialize the hash map directly so that it could just be mapped too instead of having to recreate it on load.

Advanced Scientific Data Format
I had started a little bit of work towards that recently: https://github.com/celtera/uvfs
It's very optimized towards my specific needs but could be a basis for what you mention
