I doubt it; edn seemed like _that_ rebranding effort. It looked json-like enough, but clearly didn't have the draw. People who complain that json has no comments obviously have a secret list of other gripes. The general tooling wasn't there, apart from clojure. I tried one of the edn libs for python/node and it always felt second class. The full power was just never there outside of clojure projects. It's like how everybody still uses QWERTY (including me) and are happy to buy better keyboards, but they must still be in QWERTY
