Re: [go-nuts] Re: Snappy archived?

['Robert Engels' via golang-nuts]

 but snappy did not go away. The project is alive and well. AFAIK there are no plans to change the protocol so if it works it works.  https://github.com/google/snappy On Dec 16, 2025, at 10:49 AM, bolson <brian.ol...@gmail.com> wrote: It's not about 'want to go slower' it's about 'had not heard of the new stuff'. Would have been nice for snappy to leave a note, "we had a good run, but others have picked up where we left off, go see [url, url, etc]" On Monday, December 15, 2025 at 5:19:17 PM UTC-5 Robert Engels wrote:  That’s not really how many systems work though. It’s not about “want to go slower” — it’s interoperability with systems that cannot read those new formats.   On Dec 15, 2025, at 2:04 PM, Jason E.

That is a rare want.

I usually think of that as deprecated, but maybe in this case it's a weird way of saying they think it's perfect and will never change? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
