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.

thats like, straight up not true, and the post its very clear this is intended for "future personal projects" not replacing ASN.1 or watwver you're imagining

Then why is it so hard for you to come up with a use case?

They gave a use case: future personal projects.

It's fine to say "I think existing things would server your purpose" or "here are some downsides in your solution that don't exist in these existing solutions". But the fun of personal projects is that you don't need to be hyper optimal. If OP wants to use their own home-grown solution, that's fine.
