    Functional programming with fewer indirections

    For something more peripherally related, check out Sixten. Its focus is on using unboxed value representations, which is in spirit close to what you are proposing, and some of its ideas might be good inspiration.

  • FlatBuffers

    FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

    I think the closest things are Flat Buffers: https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Cap'n Proto

    Cap'n Proto serialization/RPC system - core tools and C++ library

    And capnproto: https://capnproto.org/
