   As a Schemer, I prefer s-expressions, of course. Why oh why did so many "invent" (and adopt?) a sad version of something that's over 60y old, instead of just looking/asking around?

     @algernon i think there are few really _good_ options, but i'll at least express a narrow preference for things that make it difficult to create deeply nested hierarchies.

     YAML and JSON are both ultimately a scourge not because of their syntax, but because they enable a tendency towards putting stuff inside of other stuff that rapidly escalates towards pathology.
