JSON? Somebody forbade s-expressions?

  For some weird reason people these days believe curly brackets are the the best brackets.

    It seems some people would rather die than use parenthesis and acknowledge that those damn lispers had a good idea, after all. When curly braces fall out of fashion, what will come next? I vote for "263D first quarter moon" and "263E last quarter moon", which cannot be displayed here. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/List_of_useful_symbols#Science https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/List_of_useful_symbols...

      For me it's not curly braces vs parenthesis, but about unnecessary commas and quotes in JSON. I would rather use EDN than JSON (https://github.com/edn-format/edn https://github.com/edn-format/edn) - no unnecessary noise. I regard EDN as a kind of S-expressions.
