https://hjson.org/ was what I had in mind... but it would be awesome if for
dependencies we didn't have to quote, e.g.
scopes {
compile: [
org.slf4j:slf4j-api::1.8.0::jar
]
test: [
junit:junit::4.12::jar
]
}
which is not valid hjson as in hjson you would have to write
scopes {
compile: [
"org.slf4j:slf4j-api::1.8.0::jar"
]
test: [
"junit:junit::4.12::jar"
]
}
