This is an idea following up on the realisation that long top keys in storage lead to a lot of repetitive data and inefficiencies since KV databases rely on short keys for performance. This aims to solve the efficiency problem along with:

  • Having expressive symbols in code (you can even add doc comments)
  • Ensure you don't accidentally have collisions in the keys
