- Annatar 5y agoWhich is why he uses and advocates for JSON, right? That is so horribly wrong on so many levels, as JSON is an incomplete[1] and completely unnecessary reinvention of a wheel, just because the dispstick who invented it didn't understand that the problem could be solved with flat UNIX, plain ASCII files. "Wait, what is this UNIX thing, is that something to eat...?" Like Paul Graham wrote, "So it's easy to launch a devastating attack on a new idea, and anyone who does will seem clever to those who don't understand this asymmetry."[2] While SQL is by no means a new idea, it was easy to shit on E. F. Codd's work, but I don't see a better solution proposed by the author of that essay! To the salt mines with the lot, for such people have no business touching programming! -- [1] Parsing JSON is a minefield: http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php [2] http://paulgraham.com/newideas.html http://paulgraham.com/newideas.html
