A new data structure in computer programming. I got the idea from cell chemistry, and figured computers today can handle slow and inefficient, instead of fast and clever. Turns out it’s also great for networking.
I actually do think I’ve invented a data structure for interleaving multiple streams in a single file in a really efficient way. I can’t find something that looks like it, and it seems obviously faster and more logical than anything else I’ve seen. It’s the level below B-trees so not optimised for least amount of lookups within a record table, nor would it be efficient for adding records in a middle of the stream, but for treating data streams like files (append, shrink) I do think it’s significantly more efficient than what else I can find. One of these days I really should submit a paper and see what reviewers say.
Basically the data is moved around by things very slowly. It’s easy to integrate them into different systems. It’s like a very slow communication layer on top of everything else.

👀 explain more!
It’s a personal project I’ve been working on.
