I too love edn, but unfortunately most other languages lib abandoned (eg. https://github.com/edn-format/edn-dot-net ). Looking around python seems relatively maintained which is great https://github.com/swaroopch/edn_format/issues

Is there an example of what it looks like in practice? The Wikipedia link above doesn't have it, its citation http://edn-format.org/ seems like it doesn't exist anymore, and this github page doesn't show a sample either.
Hundreds thousand of examples at github, see this comment for an example search link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364597
It's plain old clojure, more examples here https://learnxinyminutes.com/edn/

  { :name "John Doe"
    :age 30
    :languages ["English" "Spanish" "French"]
    :address {:street "123 Main St" :city "Anytown"} }
