Don't fool yourself. You made a mistake. That's fine. Own and
fix it. Trying to make it look good is only making everything
worse.
Any idea in this group will have a few enthusiasts, but here
you have the majority of the community complaining and the
three leaders Walter, Andrei, Martin tell you clear as rain
you are wrong. What and why are you arguing?
Also, you need to contrast this to the amount of posts that
complained about JSON, or those that would have happened for
a different format choice.
So let's add more. How does that logic work?
Do you have an answer to the comment that the file format is
dead?
No he didn't make a mistake. He added a better alternative to
JSON, because other people demanded.
The poll
http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=565587f4e4b0b3955a59fb67
shows right now that 70% of 98 voters DISILIKE SDL.
SDLang is very good format
Why does nobody use it then? Not even the peoples who introduced
it use it.
I prefer it to all other formats for this purpose. It is more
readable than JSON and this ***all*** that matters.
What is your largest SDL file? Please paste it so we can look for
ourselves?
I don't even know why people complain about it. No one forces
them to use it.
They complain because it's there and it should not be.
The whole argument that you shouldn't use something, just
because it is not popular is stupid. After all why are you even
on this forum? D is not the most popular language. Other
programming communities invent new DSLs everyday and this
doesn't stop people from using those languages/libaries. Just
look at the ruby ecosystem.
Popularity is not the first argument.
