> OpenAPI is too resty

I'm curious as to why would you think that?

There's a bit of boilerplate in there if you want to use it for a naive implementation, but I don't find it exceedingly resty.

From my POV, using protobuf as a schema declaration tool (as opposed to being a performance tool) is blind follower behaviour. Getting over all the hurdles doesn't seem worth it for the payoff, and it only becomes less valuable when compared to all the OpenAPI tooling you could be enabling instead.

This being for a web-based problem, where we're solving schema declaration.

Huh? From the Swagger site:

"The OpenAPI Specification defines a standard interface to RESTful APIs..."

From their OpenAI Initiative:

"The OpenAPI Specifications provide a formal standard for describing HTTP APIs"

Not sure I care to understand your POV more given this obvious bit was missed by you.
