  1. FlatBuffers

    FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

    Project mention: Protocol Buffers in Elixir | dev.to | 2026-06-26

    This article was just a warmup, a kind of sandbox to see the capabilities of Protocol Buffer. At the same time, I was also looking to the FlatBuffers protocol trying to identify the difference between both format. I would prefer to use CBOR for my projects, but I would also like to avoid using too much dependencies from unknown repositories. Furthermore, protobuf Dart package is already used by Dart and Flutter (for metrics IIRC), it can also be used for messaging as well.

    > You can't even clearly define what an "atomic sequence of glyphs" is.

    Kinda. Grapheme cluster breaks are defined in Unicode, but they have all the baggage and edge-cases you'd expect from human languages evolving over time, so they can be encoded in as a few as a thousand rules : https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/tree/main/icu4c/source/da...
