Post #1743406

I recently spent a couple days discussing all the effort that's involved in parsing sequences of bytes into something more structured that computers can work with. The inverse operation however is fairly easy: We traverse all the objects we want to transmit or store & concatenate all the corresponding strings. Often we go to pains to make this human-legible using generic tools, but we don't need to. And often leave it to the kernel (a small buffer aside) to actually concatenate them. 1/1.5!
