I would very much like something like that for Roblox, or even just a raw sockets API, but I don't see it happening.

I just want an efficient method of data storage, just think what protobuffers could do for Roblox places and models! :D

"The design goals for Protocol Buffers emphasized simplicity and performance. In particular, it was designed to be smaller and faster than XML." - Wikipedia

You already have that....

Just serialize you data to a Lua string such as "return { ...stuff }", and then loadstring it to get back the table later.

What would a protocol buffer allow you to do?

@stravant

I'd love a raw socket API, but considering they made HttpGet and HttpPost protected, I have low hopes for that ever happening.

I'd personally like a bootstrapping system that allows you to attach data to the normal network connections, and detach it on the opposite end. :/
