   I've checked out Dhall very superficially, but it seems to be aimed at being a strict language to generate YAML and JSON, so IMO it has different goals than Jacl. E.g., an empty list is [] : List Natural in Dhall vs [] in Jacl. Dha

   Roaring bitmaps is quite good at compressing bits. Just as an example: Say, most monkeys have the same number of bananas. Pilosa doesn't store it as MonkeyCount bits, but just a few bytes.

   This is very similar to how Pilosa saves integers. https://www.pilosa.com/docs/latest/data-model/#bsi-range-enc...
