    I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.

        My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.

        So I can’t even add any notes to the file.

      It’s IMO also so much clearer regarding data types. You can’t accidentally write a boolean when you want a string.
