My dream for a parsing library / language is that it would be able to read, manipulate, and then re-serialize the data. I'm sure there are a ton of edge cases there, but the round trip would be so useful for fuzzing and program analysis.

From what I’ve read, kaitai does that now. For the longest time it could only parse, but I believe now it can generate/serialize.
