The article doesn't mention at all how those speedups have been achieved, what tradeoff the format makes and what it is optimized for - which would be the actually interesting part.

A link to the benchmark code and description of the data would be nice.

It also doesn't show data for FlatBuffer, which is often a lot faster and leaner than ProtoBuf, or for Capt'n Proto.

ProtoBuf is not exactly known for amazing performance or very optimal client implementations across the various languages.

By all means, create a new serialization format, why not. But with so many options to chose from, I would require really strong justification internally.
