I realized that STL is something that maybe only old people would know about.
STL is a C++ library which attempts to separate algorithms from their storage. For example, you have a sorting algorithm that can sort a bunch of things. The algorithm and the things being sorted and the way they're stored in memory are all orthogonal. You can swap out your own novel storage mechanism.
I would be building something similar, but for making codecs.

@JonathanGerlach@mastodon.social That’s a lot of work! But… I hope you’re able to pull it off! I spent a lot of time messing with stuff like that while doing video decoders. Something better is always better. As you deliver parts and pieces I’d love to see it!
