Low-level streaming protocols in Go: SCTE 35 (Day 4)

SCTE 35 is a binary message format used for signalling ad breaks to video players.
We're working on a Go package to encode/decode SCTE 35 messages
github.com/untangledco/streaming
Our project
---
Comcast published an open-source package (pkg.go.dev/github.com/Comcast...) already.
It's ok, but we think there are these problems:
- too much code (over 4,000 lines of code!)
- too many dependencies; could be done with just Go's standard library
- needs smaller tests
- too much copy & pasted documentation
So far, our package is thousands of lines smaller and has no dependencies. Come learn with us!

Thanks for videos

[@warren2406]

Love your vibe my friend, keep going! Curious question, how did you come to pick this project, like what are you trying to achieve ?

[@untangledco]

Haha that's a good question. These protocols were the last project I worked on at work. Didn't particularly like how that software was done, so I figured this was a good opportunity to share what I'd learned, share what I'm learning and maybe inspire others to learn with me or just learn themselves too!

Sir
What editor is this ?

[@haze6277]

Acme

[@untangledco]

Acme from Plan 9. Paper: p9f.org/sys/doc/acme/acme.html and a walkthrough: czcams.com/video/dP1xVpMPn8M/video.html

[@lorebas12]

what's your color theme?

[@untangledco]

It's the editor's default, which is the Plan 9 palette, documented here pkg.go.dev/image/color/palette and here 9p.io/magic/man2html/6/color
