I not advocating for changing the JSON spec. I'm saying, as a human-readable data format, it could be more compact. Perhaps this observation can be useful to those who are designing a new language.
- adambyrtek 15y agoIf this format is intended to be primarily human-readable, why should compactness be so crucial? Looking at your example, I personally think that commas increase readability by visually separating individual elements (at the expense of space they take).
- buddydvd 15y agoThis HN post is a discussion about data expressions leaner than JSON. I believe the points I've made contributes to it and I've never said such compactness is more preferable. It's merely an observation.
