@campfireman I came across this advocacy document today when perusing the venerable SQLite documentation. What they call application file formats, I think, applies to Cooklang, too? If yes, Cooklang possibly falls under their first category of application file formats, fully custom formats. I find it interesting that they say that those are usually binary. I suspect that their document predates current Markdown use cases, and does not take modern hardware into account. https://sqlite.org/appfileformat.html

@unpicked660 That is a very interesting piece, thanks for the hint! It reminds me a bit of this interview with Mike Stonebraker. He proposes replacing half of Linux with a database (and also the spark that led to DBOS) at minute 31 onwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPObBOwIrHk

@campfireman Yeah, I have already watched it. 🤓 He really pulls no punches. And Ryan Peterman is on fire, too. I have watched a few of his videos since he started to invite one Turing award winner after another.
