Different problems has differents solutions. What you say is really nice
and have sense when *latency* and other performance issues are not a problem
to you (it's obviously a problem for Google and for a lot of other people,
like me, I was doing a little "framework", similar to Google's PB at work,
just before they release it =).

When you deal with (almost) realtime systems, you can't pay the price for
human readability, extra parsing time, extra abstraction and extra bytes
thrown throgh the wire. You just can't.

You don't even care about portability (this kind of things usually run in
a very controlled environment).

I just wanted to clarify this.
