> Others of us thought that the main problem with JSON is that it's not human readable and writeable enough. So we came up with new formats like YAML. [EDIT: My timing is wrong here, sorry.] Unfortunately being human we could not resist making it much more complicated again, thus increasing cognitive load.
One of the odd things about the progression is how user-hostile it is. JSON lacks support for comments, YAML has systematically-meaningful indentation indentation and frequently deep nesting, etc.
