Thanks for your answer, and I see where you are coming from. But your unix is not the same as my unix. For me, unix means programs that can be easily written using only the getchar and putchar functions. If you have "types" and whatnot, it's not unix.

It's not often you hear someone criticise a tool for not having enough unnecessary encoding and parsing steps involved.

Are you talking about people who promote JSON-RPC and whatnot? Sure, they are nuts, but what does it have to do with unix?
