I was researching Protobuf vs Flatbuffers for usage in Elm when I luckily landed on this post. As other have said, very good to see explorations happening for Elm again!

Would it not be possible to integrate Flatbuffers (or variant) directly with Elm? Or is it that the concept of it being a “compiler concern” is more promising that this warrants a custom approach? I understand the performance would of course be better if the serialization format is in line with Elm’s memory layout, but perhaps you have considered an integration of the aforementioned.
