I'd prefer a format that distinguishes between sequences and associative arrays a bit more clearly. You can do that with S-exprs with some additional structure imposed on top, but then that gets more verbose than it has to be.

JSON is actually pretty decent, if only it had comments, richer data types, and some relaxed rules around syntax (e.g. allow trailing commas and unquoted keys).

Maybe something like EDN? https://github.com/edn-format/edn
