What good reason? Many programming languages have tools that parse comments for various things. With that 'good reason' we should remove comments from all programming languages.
Comments wouldn't be usefull (mostly) for data sent on the wire --and JSON is quite good for that-- but for configuration files, they're indispensable. INI (like git's) is way better of a configuration format than JSON. Easier both to read and to write.
- nine_k 10y agoFor sending things over the wire, a few way more efficient formats exist. JSON's appeal was simplicity and human-readability. The first goal is achieved OK; the second, so-so.
