S-expressions curiously omitted from the list of textual tree formats that are not perfect. Hmm... :-D
- afiori 3y agoI am honestly curious to see if someone will create a configuration language that is just s-expressions as nested json arrays
- Zambyte 3y agoThe worst part about that is not having the symbol type to use in JSON, so you must quote every symbol (or make your language incompatible with standard JSON).
- marcosdumay 3y agoS-expressions are actually quite hard to write and read when compared to TOML, and a bit more confusing then JSON (with comments).
