   I have come to the conclusion that the best data format for 'raw' scientific timeseries data is good-old, plain CSV (comma separated values):

   - ➕ new data easily appendable to files
   - 🔎 searchable with command-line tools (grep, sed, awk, perl, etc.)
   - 📝 easily modifyable as well
   - 🗜️ compresses like crazy ('xz -v -9' is insane, plain text compresses even better than already-dense binary measurement data in my experience)
   - 📤 readable by any data analysis language
