Doesn't this hold true for all serialization ever? Replace JSON with "bytes" (aka any serialized data) and it still holds:

It doesn't make sense to use bytes as the interchange format for a statically typed language. There is an impedence mismatch between the two. You are forced to infer types which are not actually there.
