Someone at google invented "protocol buffers", because they were only ever 
exposed to the worse-is-better solutions for communicating complex data over 
networks and never stopped and asked themselves "hey, what did the people do 
20 years ago when the entire internet carried less traffic in a year than 
the phone calls on mother's day?" And hence they were ignorant of ASN.1 and 
invented this lame-ass alternative called "protocol buffers." Which 
apparently compiles into every language Google supports, including Haskell.
