I also read that Salt was using MessagePack to format their messages. MessagePack is a format like JSON, but more compact.
This is something I was lucky to experience with my previous open-source project (mqtt-exporter) which reinforced my wish to continue on the Open Source journey.
There is also another thing I really enjoy doing: writing code. For the past 7 years I have been writing Python code, before that it was C++/C# and Java. But a couple of years ago, I found a new language to play with: Golang. I may repeat myself in the adjectives, but Go is elegant, easy to learn and quite powerful.
In the new style, when the tag is longer than 20 characters, an end of tag string is appended to the tag given by the string constant TAGEND, that is, two line feeds '\n\n'. When the tag is less than 20 characters then the tag is padded with pipes "|" out to 20 characters as before. When the tag is exactly 20 characters no padded is done. source: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/utils/event.py
