JSON doesn't fail for very large values because they are sent over the wire as strings. Only parsers may fail if they or their backing language doesn't account for BigInts or floats larger than f64, but these problems exist when p

Can you point me to a language with any significant number of users that does NOT have a JSON library? I went looking at some of the more niche languages like Prolog, COBOL, RPG, APL, Eiffel, Maple, MATLAB, tcl, and a few others. All of the

CSV is lists of lists of fixed length. JSON is lists of lists of any length and groups of key/value pairs (basically lisp S-expressions with lots of unnecessary syntax). This makes it a superset of CSV's capabilities. JSON fundame

JSON has a clearly-defined standards: ISO/IEC 21778:2017, IETF RFC 7159, and ECMA-404. Additionally, Crockford has had a spec available on json.org since it's creation in 2001. Do you have any examples of Python, Java, or any of t

If you want to stream large volumes of row-oriented data, you aren't reading yourself and you should be using a binary format which is going to be significantly smaller (especially for numeric data).

Essentially nobody uses JSON without a library, but tons of people (maybe even most people) use CSV without a library. Part of the problem here is standards. There's a TON of encoding variations all using the same .csv extension. Makin

The argument against JSON isn't very compelling. Adding a name to every field as they do in their strawman example isn't necessary. Compare this CSV field1,field2,fieldN "value (0,0)","value (0,1)",&q

Churn complaints are older than Angular 2. We'd gone through an entire cycle of churn around templating engines (mustache, handlebars, ejs, jade/pug, nunchucks, underscore, lodash). Gen 1 wars (up through 2010-ish), we had: jQuery

VanillaJS is a worse solution. When the JS framework benchmark first came out, VanillaJS was the fastest. After some of the vdom frameworks came out (especially InfernoJS), VanillaJS was slower. How did they make VanillaJS faster? They stud

The big problem with scaling JS on the server is threading. There's simply no way to do it. You can spin up multiple processes, but then the communication overhead gets you. The spec committee needs to bake in actors and they need to a

You still can't add features like error boundaries in React without class-based components somewhere in your app. Even if they added these features to functional components today, it would be years before they'd consider them safe

There's a disconnect between how a computer wants to do things and how a human wants to do things. This disconnect isn't so noticeable on the backend where the problems are generally related to scaling (as there isn't a gener

C is usually 1-4x faster than Haskell. This looks to be within 1-2x. The key takeaway for me is that you're in the range where very slight variations in implementation of the same algorithm make the difference between which is faster.

Even if you look at just computer games, Windows has a smaller share than any time since the 1980s. If you include the massive mobile gaming market, Windows gaming is an even tinier percentage of the overall market (maybe even <10%).
