I don't know if this is the answer, but I'm a fan of someone trying.

I personally never jumped on YAML or JSON. I liked that they weren't XML, but they each felt like XML++ too much for me. There was still too much, I don't know, weirdness/typing/oops! Don't get me wrong, I think they were better than XML, but only marginally. It would be nice to see more of a phase change type of approach. I'd LOVE to see something like this (or something else) that involves much less typing/special characters/etc than YAML and JSON.

Personal opinion.

How many less characters could there be while still maintaining meaning? Could you show an example of what you'd prefer?
