I just checked out the spec, and it gets pretty ugly in the Table section. A lot of the json examples are both shorter and IMO more precise. Stuff that’s not allowed with [table] is allowed with [[table]], and it’s confusing to understand what level of depth I’m at.

I’ll take edn over any of “em. https://github.com/edn-format/edn

Comments and time stamps allowed, arbitrary nesting of data structures, make your own tagged literals if you need them. And commas are whitespace, mostly unnecessary.
