Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
That's my biggest peev about JSON actually. No comments!! WTH!
On one hand I agree, on the other hand I just know that some people would immediately abuse it and put relevant data into comments.
This is why there are none, but I still think it's dumb. Parsers can't see comments anyways.
That's assuming people actually use a parser and don't build their own "parser" to read values manually.
And before anyone asks: Yes, I've known people who did exactly that and to this day I'm still traumatized by that discovery.
But yes, comments would've been nice.
