  • Crockford is a good and smart person but he really dropped the fucking ball on JSON.

    Double-quotes-only and no comments kill the whole spec for me. Extremely opinionated and dumb. I fucking hate JSON.

    My boss once sent me a machine generated config. He’s terminally addicted to double-quotes (like, a fatal condition). I searched and there were 27k sequences of \".

    Edit: my point is - all that compute and network wasted, every single time the file is requested and parsed. Completely pointless waste
