I can empathize. But we just don't want to fill this regret again in the new building. The lack of standards is currently the biggest issue hindering the promotion of this proposal. Another interesting thing, I'd like to share another data from github: if we search for the lookup table of crc16 on GitHub, you'll find that CRC-16/IBM with a higher use rate:
CRC-16/IBM: 3.1k https://github.com/search?q=%220x0000%2C+0xc0c1%2C+0xc181%2C+0x0140%2C+0xc301%2C+0x03c0%2C+0x0280%2C+0xc241%2C%22&type=code [image: image.png] CRC-16/XMODEM: 304 https://github.com/search?q=%220x0000%2C++0x1021%2C++0x2042%2C++0x3063%2C++0x4084%2C++0x50a5%2C++0x60c6%2C++0x70e7%2C%22&type=code [image: image.png] BRs, Tomek CEDRO <to...@cedro.info> 于2025年4月9日周三 10:52写道： > On Wed, Apr 9, 2025 at 3:45 AM chao an <magicd...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > On Tue, Apr 8, 2025 at 7:17 PM Lwazi Dube <lwa...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > An open source project's ability to innovate should not be > > > > > held up by your preferences. > > > > > > > > The last sentence is completely wrong.
