>At the very least, you could put the whole json stuff inside a comment. It's already plain text, isn't it?

So instead of having the whole file as JSON, which is lazy and not well thought-out, we'll put all content in JSON, then put that JSON inside a comment in a plain text file. Do I read you correctly?

I feel we're making progress faster than these lazy Jupyter org bandits.

Only the "output" content. The code inside the cells is verbatim, and the markdwon cells are regular text comments.

See, I'm not discussing you just because. I have a legitimate problem with ipynb: very often I want to run the code of a notebook from the command line, or import it from another python program. This is quite cumbersome with the ipynb, but it would be trivial if it was a simple program with comments.

I believe people reading this are not detecting the sarcasm. I'm demonstrating that the Jupyter folks are not lazy engineers, and the "obvious" solutions people come up with are not that well thought-out when you start actually thinking about them.
