Compression Formats

Name: Anonymous 2013-06-11 21:35

Why bothering supporting all formats, when we can use single turing-complete data format and eval would be a decompressor? Then anyone could use it's own private compression algorithm.

I.e. use Lisp's lambda as compression format, then Lisp's eval would be a decoder. You can store any imaginable data inside lambdas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_encoding)

you are already "executing" files by the miracle of read() syscall
For a bullshit definition of ``executing'' that doesn't actually mean that.
