Hi everyone, I wonder what is the reason clojure uses XML standard wise and not JSON. In the past I've found that JSON is much cleaner to read, and much easier to represent data structures in. I know XML is a buzzword, but JSON is on it's way to become one too. And yes I know Java uses XML extensively, in my eyes too extensively in many parts, but isn't one goal of Clojure not to repeat Javas mistakes?
On another note, wouldn't Clojure itself or rather a subset of clojure be best to represent data? So to say something like CON? Or do I miss something that makes it important for Clojure to be bundled so tightly with XML?
