_why isn’t as concerned about cross-platform object portability as much
as cross-language object portability.

Why not provide a wire format that is more efficient than YAML and
keep its portability? My big use case is this: I love DRb. I want
it to work across languages. I guess you could do this with plain
YAML. But we don’t really need YAML’s readability. And we could use
the efficiency a bit.
Doesn’t DRb use Marshal, and isn’t Marshal faster than YAML?
Won’t YAML bytecode be no faster than Marshal? Isn’t Marshal
suitably cross-platform?No flame intended, but you got a lot of questions to answer
