GitHub user CurtHagenlocher added a comment to the discussion: New assembly for scalar types
Here's my case for `Operations`: Let's say that we wanted to add support for taking a `StringArray` (or later, `JsonArray`) and converting it into a `VariantArray`. This seems like the kind of conversion operation that `Operations` should be for -- just as it might have support for converting an `Int32Array` to or from a `StringArray`. (I'm not 100% sold on this, but it makes sense if I squint a little.) > Looks like other projects have also grappled with where Variant related logic > should live: Yeah, I've seen that. We do have one advantage over other platforms which is that the .NET standard library has a good JSON library built into the platform, whereas for e.g. Rust and Java this is a third-party package.
