Expect to see this in "n things I regret about deno"

Replying to Flatbuffers concerns:

You are right, we will try to get rid of it for some faster serialization mechanisms (after some huge internal refactor lands). See the talk I posted, Ryan mentioned about it near the end.

Every deno API function call goes through flatbuffer serialization + deserialization + more steps. Sounds like a lot of overhead.
