title: Erlang Universal Binary Format? Anyone using it?
body: <p>I recently stumbled upon this 2002 conference <a href="http://www.erlang.se/workshop/2002/Armstrong.pdf" rel="noreferrer">paper</a> (<em>Getting Erlang to talk to the outside world</em> by Joe Armstrong) and I was wondering whether this is a standard that was ignored or if there was any adoption?</p>
  
  <p>Should I focus on Apache Thrift for inter-platform communication? <em>(whatever solution I choose will involve at least Erlang)</em></p>
