That's a harmless example and a tiny price to pay.

What no-comments saved us from was stuff like this in our data interchange:

    {  
        "count": 123 // bigint
        "price": 10.99 // @precision=2
        "date": "2024-08-12" // @format=YY-MM-dd
        "data": /* !transform(rot13) */ "uryyb" 
        "storage": 5 // Unit(TB)
    }

And who knows what deeper layers of hell we avoided.

Frankly, VSCode shows that all this time people were complaining about no comments in JSON config and how hard it was to write config in JSON, they could have just written their apps to strip comments at read time.

So we do have the best of both worlds.

Your example is perfect, I'm stealing this for the next time JSON comments comes up.
