Does Bebop support use as a file format by dumping directly to disk, as some serialization libraries do? Or perhaps a better way to phrase it, since ultimately you can send whatever you want to a binary file, is it intended to be used in such a way?

You can. I use it to persist settings in my app Borderless Gaming https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming

I’m also working on a textual configuration language that allowa you to import a schema and define data like JSON.

Very cool! I'd definitely be interested in that, especially if it could spit out class definitions for supported languages. Bebop seems to have native support for pretty much every language I care about too.
