> Everything about CBOR is uncool. It was designed by a committee. It reeks of RFCs. Acronyms are lame. Saying "SEE-BORE" is like licking a nickel. One of the authors is "Carsten Bormann", which makes the name feel masturbatory.
Carsten Bormann was my professor for Rechnernetze (computer networks). He is also one of the authors of GNU Screen. I mentioned to him that I use tmux, and he asked what was wrong with screen :). His wife is also in the same IT department at the university, where she was the dean. She helped me sort out a problem regarding my course selections, a very kind person. I think he is a decent teacher and knowledgeable in his field, but if you look at his work over the past decades, it's evident that he has a tendency to author RFCs that are rarely used.
Interesting. I think single person RFCs are like most other forms of publication in that there is a long tail of unused ones and a few that take off. But you miss all the shots you don't take.
