just stumbled upon seph gentle's work on
schemaboi and it is a wild concept. he wants to embed schemas directly into file headers, similar to how
html and http function, so you dont need external definitions to read your files.
it basically eliminates the headache of version mismatching by allowing for forward, backwards, and sideways compatibility without needing a central authority to manage it all. wonder if this could eventually replace how we handle legacy data in google analytics?
