I think it is important to distinguish between human-readable serialization format and human-readable config language. I wish the distinction was made more explicit. JSON is the champion serialization format. But it is hard to edit config files with missing comments and strict quotes and commas. JSON is great for the API, but configs should be converted from something nicer to JSON. I wonder if it would be good to make the conversion explicit so any format could be used.
