Question: if the really good ideas sell themselves (e.g. JSON as a data format), then does the presence of a Hype Cycle count against the goodness of an idea?

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoSome of us think JSON has been over hyped.
- hyperman1 5y agoJSON is a good example of a good enough idea that came at the right time. It took good points of XML, removed the pain points of XML, and got a layer of C-syntax coating so it managed to ride the javascript hype. And it is good enough. But e.g. no real thought about dates is a pain point that keeps hurting. I would grade it better than average but not really good.
