make([] [] byte, 0)

Does this make a double nested byte array of size 0?

As in, every element is made up of two iterators (adjacent block, and then the nested one), but the first element doesnt exist yet?

This looks like Go, so I think this would be a 2d array (or slice as Go calls it) of bytes, with starting length 0. Go has an optional 3rd parameter for capacity

Interesting, thanks! I find it weird for it to be assigned to a buffer variable if no initial fixed size is given
