Slim is collection of surprisingly space efficient data types, with corresponding serialisation APIs to persisting them on-disk or for transport.
Why slim
As data on internet keeps increasing exponentially, the capacity gap between memory and disk becomes greater.
Most of the time, a data itself does not need to be loaded into expensive main memory. Only the much more important information, WHERE-A-DATA-IS, deserve a seat in main memory.
This is what slim does, keeps as little information as possible in main memory, as a minimised index of huge amount external data.
