I agree. My undesranding is this was one of the large motivations behind using JSON: It's a common protocol that already has convenient bindings in most languages. If it's hard[1] for third parties to bind QMP to their favourite language/framework then IMHO we've done it wrong. Paul [1] Hard compared to any other sane RPC mechanism. Some languages make everything hard :-)
