Another use case: I would like to add Elm support to the flatbuffers compiler. Flatbuffers let you describe your protocol in a lightweight schema description language and generate low-level DTOs and serialization logic in different languages. If Elm supported binary data we could generate flatbuffers messages in pure Elm, in a lot friendlier way than the JavaScript implementation. We use flatbuffers in a realtime video streaming application.
