I really don’t understand why we put JSON everywhere tbf.
You are limited to very few types, important ones like dates are missing, JSON is a pain to write and format without a "smart" editor. It’s also a pain to read as soon as you start listing complex things.
Not saying here that YAML or TOML are better (though I personally prefer TOML) but more that nothing is really nice.
It’s just that if we have to give up on a config format to be easily editable with basic tools, maybe we should have stuck with XLM. At least it had solid format definition and enforcement. It’s a semi-troll but maybe we could have something in between XLM and YAML.
