I've got a feeling this has to be some kind of enterprise play. Random devs are not going to pay for a data format.

Their whole thing is tooling around protocol buffers, not the data format itself. The format is completely open source and comes from Google.

Protobuf is not even all that good as a format, flatbuffers has generally better properties.

My impression is flatbuffers takes more cpu caused it doesn’t transform the binary payload (it’s use case)
