Hello everyone,
I've been working on SDL support for DUB and wanted to get
some people's opinions on whether we should really use SDL.
I've posted my thoughts here:
http://forum.rejectedsoftware.com/groups/rejectedsoftware.dub/thread/2263/
I kind of get the feeling you're trying to push dub to use ASON.
My first reaction is, please don't invent yet another markup
language for developers to learn. Especially as this new
language is only relevant to dub. Honestly it would seriously
make me not want to use dub. Just pick one of the existing
ones, XML, Yaml, Json, SDL (i've never heard of this one.) and
stick with it. All other package managers seem to do just fine.
Don't fix what isn't broken.

Seriously though are you also willing to break all existing
dub.json files? That's 317 (http://code.dlang.org/ as of today)
packages this change is going to mess with. Are you really
going to do that? Just as things are starting to take off?
I'm in favour of just sticking to plain, normal old Json.
Everyone knows it, everyone understands it and everything else
does just fine using it.
If only it supported comments...
