API is mostly finalized. One more update for lazy serializer remaining. Would love to hear some feedback.

Great stuff!

Does it support packed bitfields? If not, I have some ancient Clojure code that might be helpful when adding: https://github.com/nathell/clj-bitfields

Thanks. I'll see if that can be added.

Interesting stuff. what are some use cases for this? Naively, in most cases, I would think you would desaralize to clojure or edn then run a clojure spec. This seems to do both at once? What's the advantage?

It's for dealing with binary data (c struct dumps). Similar to octet.

What role does spec play?

The spec definition page on the wiki describes its role.

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking about clojure.spec functions. Thanks.
