- jmcqk6 9y agoWOW, I didn't know that you could speak for the ENTIRE WORLD. Personally, I find this at the very least interesting and possibly useful. The lack of comments in JSON is a problem when it comes to annotating configuration stored as JSON. But we have other formats that do not have this limitation (INI, YAML are two examples). I really like the idea of "Human-Optimized" config, because it is more important for code and config to be understood by humans than by machines.

- robalfonso 9y agoWow, first value wins seems like a really horrible idea, any insight into why that choice got made?
- AzzieElbab 9y agoThere seems to be a confusion. First value wins - is in no way how hocon works. Just take a look at the examples
- hp 9y agoI'm pretty sure the last value wins, but maybe don't understand what you mean.
