I am currious about a couple of things both conserning streams. They are related to the book alittle I guess.
1. The book mentions using streams to init objects, why is this a good thing? is it just so the whole object setup approach is reduced?
2. Serializing messages. They way I've done messages in the past was awful void* and enums, the stream method seems to be very elegant, but surly when there are 100 or so messages each tick this is an unnecessary overhead?
