The documentation seems to have a lot of off-putting mathy category theory stuff, and it didn't look like there are a lot of practical examples, but it would be cool to have an alternative to protobufs/thrift that can represent ADTs directly.

Check out ATerms, it’s a storage (and in-memory representation) designed for storing ADTs:

14 languages? That's ridiculous. We need to develop one universal language that covers everyone's use cases.
