    Q: Why the name “Fleece”?

    A: It’s a reference to the mythical Golden Fleece, the treasure sought by Jason [emphasis mine] and the Argonauts.

    I see what you did there…

    This post leads me to piggyback and see what people think of lambdabuffers (which are not my work but something I became aware of through the Haskell community).

      I don’t have much experience with similar tools but that looks quite interesting, thanks for sharing!

        No problem! I plan to teach for them when/if iterop becomes difficult when sending data between WASM, Haskell, Plutus, and Purescript.

    Interesting. A year ago I was looking for something exactly like this for distributing data between multiple servers. Everything required a ton of overhead or was too big to use. I ended up just using json. I did discover that Brotli can compress 3 gigs of json down into just 70 megs nearly instantly.
