It's funny. He says use a preprocessor to remove comments. Thus not using JSON. It's almost a joke. Except Microsoft does exactly that in their hip project.json

Double quotes everywhere are more annoying to read than end tags. If we're going to invent nonstandard formats, why not remove the redundant tag name in the XML end tag. Problem solved.
- rendaw 10y agoMy own contribution to the world's specification bloat: luxem https://github.com/rendaw/luxem https://github.com/rendaw/luxem A perhaps lightly more rigorous specification: https://github.com/Rendaw/luxemj/blob/master/src/main/resources/luxem.pidgoon https://github.com/Rendaw/luxemj/blob/master/src/main/resour... It allows optional quotes and comments, plus trailing "," and element type specifications. I think it's easier to read and hand-write, as well as write a parser/generator.
- nilliams 10y agoLooks like a good take. Your readme would benefit from an example of what luxem looks like, ideally the first thing I'd see, below a short tagline, rather than having to read a lot of text and try to picture what you're describing.
