Performance of Protobuf is a joke. Why not use a zero copy format so that serialization is free? For example, my format Lite³ which outperforms Google Flatbuffers by 242x: https://github.com/fastserial/lite3

Mmmm, I don't know maybe because your library DIDN'T EXIST before November 2025? Or perhaps for any other million reasons why people use Protobuf, and don't use Cap'n'proto and other 0-serialise libraries, like requiring a schema, established tooling for language of their choice, etc?
