FWIW the binary-class package by Roman Klochkov looks pretty nice:

Hmm, yes, on closer inspection, I see that you’re right. It’s not worthless,
but it’s definitely not ideal for actually using as a communication protocol.
So I guess my original point still stands: having a consistent binary encoding
for s-expressions could be nice.

Just comenting only on Alexis's suggestion here, since sounds like John
is happy with sexps for now.
I don't see how `racket/fasl` is suitable for heterogeneous interop,
which is a very common case needing this, perhaps the most common.
Spec-wise, `racket/fasl` is not defined, beyond that it c
Oh, very neat... racket/fasl was precisely the sort of thing I was thinking of.

Look at my original response to John's post about this... The binary format
you are thinking of is racket/fasl.

Couldn't this binary s-expression just be a struct?
'(move 3 5)
becomes
(struct move (x y) #:prefab)
(move 3 5)
client/server will likely have some kind of matching either way, and prefab
structs can be matched
(match command
[(list 'move x y) ...
becomes
(match command
[(move x y) ...
It might be interesting to create a binary s-expression format for more
efficient reading/writing, a la BSON’s relationship to JSON. Perhaps even with
some sort of optional compression. Racket’s reader is fairly complicated,
though, so it might need to restrict itself to a useful subset?

The `read` and `write` procedures are one way to do this. (Though you
want to disable some features when you do that.
