lisp is really important for the software ecosystem, it's sort of a grease trap for "clever"ness.

If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
having the sort of ADHD where for the past two days I keep forgetting to use weed because every step of the process of it gets interrupted by wanting to like, make my zsh config work with inshellisense, and then now I need to fix my nix config, and wow I really should go ride my bike to think about this better and now i need to go to the store and
I've got one more opinion until next week: you should never use json for your config file. yes even if it's not supposed to be user facing.
some day someone is going to need to dig into the config to debug something and the least you can do is let them use comments
"so... json-with-comments?" no. it's not a real standard and also in this house we do not "throw good money after bad". make your config yaml. make your config .ini. make your config in sh. I don't care. you're parsing options it doesn't matter what it's in. so make it in something that both supports code comments and syntax highlighting.
just don't make it in JSON. or if you do, have the user facing portion be in literally anything else and then juice it into JSON in the background if you need to be a filthy little gremlin about it.
I was at the store the other day and the Barilla pasta was on sale... but the on-sale price was basically the same as the La Molisana stuff that's bronze-die cut and thus better. I'm sure it's a different situation in different parts of the world but I hear this is not uncommon, and why would you buy Barilla at this point; it's neither the cheapest pasta, nor is it as good as some other pasta brands (de cecco, garofalo, etc) that are better but are often no more expensive.
And you know, it used to be you'd go to the store and it was wall to wall barilla and you'd be lucky if you could find divella but I see more and more de cecco, I see more and more garofalo pasta, I see Barilla's shelf space slowly shrinking. People are waking up to this! People are becoming aware! Barilla's house of cards is about to fall, folks!
