Copying from blog post [https://medium.com/@gepheum/i-spent-15-years-with-protobuf-t...]:
""" Should you switch from Protobuf?
Protobuf is battle-tested and excellent. If your team already runs on Protobuf and has large amounts of persisted protobuf data in databases or on disk, a full migration is often a major effort: you have to migrate both application code and stored data safely. In many cases, that cost is not worth it.
For new projects, though, the choice is open. That is where Skir can offer a meaningful long-term advantage on developer experience, schema evolution guardrails, and day-to-day ergonomics. """
