OP here. I'm also looking forward to an ending! I'll definitely write more once our research has made more progress :)

Last time I had to create a C# desktop app, I went with Blazor Hybrid [1]. I'd say it's "Electron for C#". I don't want to use outdated stuff like WPF / WinForms, and I don't trust more recent frameworks,

> If your config format requires autoformatter and/or linter to detect trivial mistakes, it is junk. IMO this way of thinking disqualifies lots of legitimate configuration formats, but to each their own I guess.

(Update: my article eventually made it to the frontpage and stayed there for a good time, so there's interesting discussion there that people here might want to check out. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=452918

Just tested this on the playground and observed that the following does work: "price_in_€": 42 Or were you already aware of that and lamenting that KSON requires quoting in this case, compared to YAML which doesn't?

I think the current grammar should be precise enough for that, though it's embedded in the source code as a comment and not in its own file (see https://github.com/kson-org/kson/blob/857d585ef26d9f73e080b

I've often reached out to TOML for truly minimal configuration files, so I'd say TOML makes sense in a lot of scenarios. However, my point in the article is that simple stuff eventually stops being simple, so you need to be carefu

A friend of mine introduced TOML to a reasonably big open source project and he mentioned there were some unexpected downsides to it. I've asked him to chime in here, because I think he's more qualified to reply (note that I point

That took some design work! In the end, KSON settled on something called the "end dot", which denotes the end of an object (more details in the docs, at https://kson.org/docs/syntax/#the-end-dot ).

Didn't know about RCL! The project readme looks promising. I'll have to take it out for a spin. Thanks for creating it :)

Glad you liked the format. I hope we can close the implementation gaps as development advances, and I'd love to see native libraries sprout for all conceivable programming languages! Edit: point taken about verifying checksums, just cr

Thanks for the kind words :) This sounds like the kind of question for Daniel himself to chime in, since he has the best overview of the language's design and vision. He's not super active on HN, but I'll give him a heads up!

This sounds like a stricter version of KSON's current warnings for misleading indentation... maybe KSON should have an opt-in feature for this. Thanks for the idea!

by wofo 1y ago
I like this take! Have you used Cue or RCL yourself? How was the experience?
82.
by wofo 1y ago
Hmmm that's interesting. KSON actually shows a warning when there's misleading indentation, exactly to prevent this sort of thing! It seems like the detection logic only considers indents after a new line, so it doesn't compl

I met Daniel (creator of KSON) a while ago and have helped out with a few things, working towards this first beta release. I don't want to hijack the comments section, but there's an article I just finished writing that might shed

Having worked on a few Rust projects that interface with C libraries, I think your last question is a good summary: once you introduce a C API boundary it's back to tools like Valgrind. Maybe you could even say Zig is at an advantage t
