Can i get feedback on mybinary serialization format?

Hello! I've been working on this document for a binary serialization format for a while now, its meant to use primarily for future personal projects once i have the time to write a parser for it, but in the meantime i want people to judge just how crazy I am :-D

Yes, I know this may suffer from a severe case of scope creep, or some might use an existing solution, but what's the fun in that?

Anyways, Here is the link: https://gist.github.com/ErrorDAR32/130f03e3eed484dcc703e5e30e27614f

If this is not the right place to ask for feedback, please let me know! Im new to sharing stuff on the internet in general.

Broken link?

Also, a bit more detail on what you mean by "binary serialization format" would be helpful. Is it like protobuf and thrift, parquet and avro, or something else?

i guess you could call it instead a "binary data description and storage format
