I would like to share my quick two cents regarding this subject.1st cent. I would stick with JSON. Even though I find STON slick, I would not deviate from something that is mainstream and all Smalltalk dialects already support. 2nd cent. A Dictionary literal syntax would be useful too. I would like to have it. It could be something like #{'this' -> 1. 'that' -> 2 }, and keep {1. 2} for dynamic arrays.
I don't want to sound like a broken record - but you do realize that I wrote about this in the article and mentioned this exact syntax?
I know, the article was a tad long - but just go to planet.smalltalk.org and search down to "Sidestory: Adding literal Dictionaries to Smalltalk?".
