why email addresses can have comments but json can't

@Sominemo comments for... email? How would that work?

@Sominemo
JSON was always assumed to just be in a JS file. So you'd just use JS comments.
But this system hasn't umm.... EVER worked or even been a good assumption in my experience.

And then instead of being used in JavaScript it became a general-use markup language.
So now there are a million implementations of readers for it and they don't always agree on what's valid. It's usually easiest to just disallow comments.

@halotroop2288 mhm, it was more of a rhetorical question because this comparison makes it funny

@Sominemo it’s what happens if you raccreate an enraccoding standard that is shit for everyone equally

@mira I honestly think the "soulless glass city" just underlines the ironic message of this meme format, unless you mean it in general =)
