You seem to be taking the position that if you start with a config file
config.json, it is "too hard to edit", but then by renaming it to
config.rson it magically becomes easier to edit. That *is* ludicrous.
No, but that seems to be the position you keep trying to ascribe to
me: "Wait a minute... if JSON is too hard to edit, and RSON is a
*superset* of JSON, that means by definition every JSON file is also a
valid RSON file. Since JSON is too hard to manually edit, so is
RSON."
Huh? That's the argument being used against you, not the argument being
ascribed to you. You're getting confused about something, somewhere.
Yes, it is very confusing. Steven used that purported argument
against me, and then since I disagreed with it, it apparently meant
that I was arguing that changing the file extension type (which I've
never even proposed or discussed, btw) from json to rson somehow
magically makes a preexisting file all better.
No, that was not the point he was making. You should reread more
carefully (and be aware of sarcasm).
