I’m no fan of JSON as a configuration language, but I tried using SDLang with dub and quickly returned to JSON.

Dub would feel slightly (slightly!) more polished if it used a more common package format. TOML would be a good choice.

I honestly don't know why people don't adopt a slightly better json at this point if we're going to invent weird new formats anyways. Some kind of macro language with better syntax would be ahead by miles, and able to plug into anywhere that uses JSON very easily.
