he also wrote go-nostr, the main nostr sdk in Go. that, together with his original relay framework relayer is what really piqued my interest in building on nostr. 

he’s also accepted a number of my contributions to his Go projects in a timely and friendly manner. ignoring his propensity to push breaking changes, he’s a great oss maintainer 😂 

thanks fiatjaf 🫂 

 yeah i was looking at the binary encoding in there. Seems like we’re doing a lot of similar things but in different langs 

 I saw the binary package show up but haven’t looked into it yet. presumably ya’ll are using binary for faster internals and not over the wire?
