I agree with HOCON being nice based on personal usage but I haven't seen an in depth analysis of it. This is the canonical parser for JVM based languages — https://github.com/lightbend/config, are there many other implementations that are widely used?

That's the one Akka uses, which probably comprises the majority of HOCON usage.

I've also used the Python port without issues.
