but I gave up because this is discussion was emotional like
let us JSON to attract people to Smalltalk wonderful idea.
I think that it is stupid to use another syntax for storing meta-data.
And yet again I point to Tirade :)

Especially Tirade2 above shows a bit about size (4 classes, 500 loc)
speed and portability. Tirade is basically a parser for Smalltalk
messages that only are allowed to use literals as arguments (although
arbitrarily nested literals).
Which is exactly what Stef describes + a bit more. :)
