Add Binary format?

In the same vein as Wasm, adding a simple binary format might make HVM an easier/more compact target for language backends. Startup times may also be faster, as there's no need to parse unicode and build up the syntax tree. Thoughts?


As an aside, are you planning on documenting a public interface and releasing on crates.io for use in other Rust projects?

Yes for both. All should be done.

Yeah, I'd really like if HVM was bytecode with a frontend that looks like the current.
