Thanks.
Personally, I don't find the arguments for switching
convincing. Perhaps
moving to an extended JSON that supports comments and other
niceties, but
moving to an entirely new format seems excessive. The nice
thing about
JSON is that it is commonly used everywhere, making dub easy to
approach
and easy to write tooling for - even after a switch to SDL as
the primary
format, I can see many folks and tooling continuing to use
JSON. Without
removal of JSON support you are stuck supporting two formats...
tl;dr I think it is a bad idea.
I don't really see the point of it either. A reason for switching
doesn't jump out at me.
