+1 except I would not say that "I want to write JSON as close as possible”. It’s either zero friction or it’s already good enough. In Amber, for example, you already can write a JSON object “as close as possible” to the original syntax and is o-kay but is not really great because you’re still being taxed when compared to JavaScript and that taxing might never payoff, that’s why I say that we are either currently okay or we move towards zero-JSON-friction. Amber: #{ ‘key1’-> value1. ‘key2 -> value2 } <— kind of okay, survivable JavaScript: {key1: value1, key2: value2} <— awesome, no friction to party with the rest of the world, it rocks!
