@ -8,10 +8,11 @@ Hence the need for a code/object file format
I started with yaml, which is nice in that it has a solid implementation, reads and writes,
handles arbitrary objects, handles graphs and is a sort of readable text format.

To fix this i started on Sof, with an eye to expand it.

### Usage
The module's main useful api is
Sof::Writer.write(object_to_derialize)

Much fewer know what they include, and that is not because they are not very useful,

An object machine must off course have it's own object files, because:
- otherwise we'd have to express the object machine in c (nischt gut)

- we would be forced to read the source every time (slow)
- we would have no language independant format

And i was going to get there, juust not now. I mean i think it's a great idea to have many languages
compile and run on the same object machine.
Not neccessarily my idea, but i haven't seen it pulled off. Not that i will.
And i was going to get there, just not now. I mean i think it's a great idea to have many languages

I just want to be able to read my compiled code!!
