I already regret starting about this. Instead of rooting for
the SDL format, I should have just recommended to deprecate
the json one.
I do not think you should regret starting a discussion on this.
Personally I only ever use SDL with Dub. Even contemplating
using JSON for human written configuration files is, for me,
totally the wrong thing to do.
I only use the JSON format. JSON is widespread together with XML.
SDL I heard first time of in the context of Dub and never seen it
used elsewhere. TOML also I know only from Cargo. YAML at least I
know from several different projects.
I guess the tool must be working very well though if the main
argument is what kind of data format to use :)
