There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

JSON5. it's basically just JSON with several QoL improvements, like comments, that make it usable as a format for human consumption (as opposed to a serialization format).

Objects may have a single trailing comma.

I just came.

I love that there's someone out there who's that passionate about JSON.

I hate grammers in anything that don't support trailing commas. It's even worse when it's supported in some contexts and not others. Like lists are OK, but not function parameters.
