I think we're having a completely different conversation now. The parent comment I originally replied has been edited so much that I think the context of what I was referring to is now gone.
replyAlso, I wasn't talking about building network layers, I was explicitly referring to things that use a network layer... That is, an application receiving streams of enumerable network data.
I also agree with what you're saying, we don't want UInt8, we want bits and bytes.
I'm really confused as to why the parent comment was edited so heavily. Oh well, that's social media for you.
Not the person originally replying, but as someone who avoids JS I have to ask whether the abstraction you provide may have additional baggage as far as framing/etc.
replyIronically, naively, I'd expect something more like a callback where you would specify how your input gets written to a buffer, but again im definitely losing a lot of nuance from not doing JS in a long while.
