Seems likely, though I couldn't say for sure. I am sure you will recognize a lot of the design. :)

Did you have a say on the choice of language? I ask because I remember those posts http://blog.reverberate.org/2009/12/torn-over-c-question.htm...

I don't understand your question -- the choice of language for what?

The blog article you linked is about my own protobuf implementation "upb", which is separate from anything else we've been talking about in this thread.

For this new project, FlatBuffers, since it appears you were involved in it.

I'm not involved in FlatBuffers -- I said I hadn't heard of it before yesterday. :)

My comment about unions was about the Google protobuf implementation, which I am tangentially involved in.

Please apologize my misunderstandment.

No problem, I am flattered that you would have remembered a blog article I posted five years ago.
