@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... To me, trivial serialization is a *large* benefit. I can literally read the entire world state with a single read from disk.

Similarly, undo/redo of world state in the editor is a memcpy/compressing to memory/decompressing from memory.
Can't stress enough how amazing that feels. No more "that thing you added broke Undo".
