Congrats in 10 years! Question: Can Cap'n Proto be used as an alternative to Python Pickle library for serializing and de-serializing python object structures?

If your goal is to serialize an arbitrary Python object, Pickle is the way to go. Cap'n Proto requires you to define a schema, in Cap'n Proto schema language, for whatever you wan to serialize. It can't just take an arbitrary Python value.
