I don't think that sentence you quoted suggest everyone should get used to them. It simply says they're not that bad once you get used to them.

- shakna 9y ago> It simply says they're not that bad once you get used to them. Yes, and I was simply pointing out that, that is not helpful thinking. JSON is fundamental to working with the web, and Elm works on the web. A high learning curve on something fundamental is fine in languages that are academic in nature, intentionally obtuse, or designed to be difficult. It's not fine in a language intended for production use. This post was about a language survey. It says that JSON decoders are too hard for the audience. A helpful step forward, is seeing how to make them less obtuse. An unhelpful step backward, is tell everyone just deal with it. We'll see which step Elm takes in the coming months.
