I'm not sure this is a great idea. Syntax-wise, Elm records aren't different that much from JSON. But in terms of semantics, they can store any Elm value, which includes functions and other things that can't be serialized well.
At the end of the day, an Elm record is just a mapping from names to values, whose names are known at compile time. So it shouldn't be too hard to make that work in other languages.
