> In discussing the new {{pyarrow.serialize}} function with attendees at
> JupyterCon last week, there is some interest in possibly using this
> serialization scheme (a union with scalar values + object structure, with a
> sidecar of tensors) beyond Python. For example, it would be interesting to be
> able to interact with this "data structure" in JavaScript. It may be worth
> writing down the details of how this works so that other implementations can
> be created without having to pore through the C++ code for details
