Ok, with some extra playing around there is a serious 4th option. #453 would at least allow flattened structs to roundtrip through RON. However, the syntax would still use maps...

@ebkalderon @solarretrace @Frizi @ericsampson @kvark @torkleyy What are your thoughts on #453 as a minimal fix?

@ModProg Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I've been thinking about the UTF-8 support for a while too but haven't had the time to draft an implementation so far. When...

I think especially with #479, I'm now convinced that this is a good idea to ensure that values can roundtrip. I'll see if I can work on this tomorrow. As...

I think that #206 fixed the code duplication issue and #488 finally pushed the serialising code to 100% code coverage

I am currently working on a small side project that will need the new `own` and `borrow` types in `wit-bindgen` (I wrote an original prototype when the old resource implementation...

No worries - and yes, I’ll work on one later today :)
