@ingo \- just happened to be written yesterday <https://scattered-thoughts.net/writing/against-sql>/ . While I don't agree 100% with everything written, this excoriating condemnation of SQL as a programming language expresses many problems in a way you may find interesting (and Nimmer's in general). Jamie Brandon has forgotten more about this stuff than I ever knew...Articles like these pop up regularly.
@Araq \- thanks for the response! I was aware of ARM "bi-endianness", but didn't/don't think anyone really uses it. I guess [MS "discourages"](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/overview-of-arm-abi-conventions?view=msvc-160) (search for "endian") anyone from using this ARM32 feature and [ARM64 made it harder](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/arm64-windows-abi-conventions?view=msvc-160) to do without kernel support. I guess always forcing the CPU into the endian mode expected in say interrupt/exception handling at every crossing is viewed as too costly for the value add or something. Sounds like a real landmine! @Scotpip \- I continue to think byte format concerns are a 100% "theoretical" concern for you (and a 99% theoretical concern for others..) Good luck!
