The elixir model is so much nicer, I&amp;#x27;ve used byteorder to convert a datetime to a byte array and then the reverse and it is not the most elegant code, nom looks much nicer. I wish rust had Elixir&amp;#x2F;Erlang like binary pattern matching.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Parsing bitstreams with Nom</title><url>https://blog.adamchalmers.com/nom-bits/</url></story>
