Yes, I gathered that after Martin replied and then you issued your next message. Sorry that I misunderstood. But I don’t understand your statement that it is a generally intractable problem. The system I have been using since 2009 has worked wonderfully well for me, and handles self-referential and circular references transparently. The only thing it can’t serialize is compiled code and functional closures. - DM > On Mar 2, 2026, at 15:34, Tim Bradshaw (as tfb at cley dot com) <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 2 Mar 2026, at 18:50, David McClain (as dbm at refined-audiometrics dot com) <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Instead of MAKE-LOAD-FORM, I use a binary interchange format for my serialization across the network and to file storage.
