@untitaker@gts.woodland.cafe JSON5 is moderately less hostile than JSON but for most programs it's still advertising that you care a lot more about programming convenience than having a good experience of writing configuration files.
(For both simple and complex configuration files there are much better syntaxes that are easier for people to deal with.)

@cks@mastodon.social @untitaker@gts.woodland.cafe My most recent project uses tab-separated values that a script turns into XML. I assume you hate everything about this.
