What Hacker News says?
Apropos of this, in Clojure-land the idiomatic serialization is, EDN [1], which is pretty ergonomic to work with IMO, since in most cases it is the same as a data-literal in Clojure. My feeling is that :keywords reduce the need and temptation to conflate strings and boolean/enumerations that occurs when there's no clear way to convey or distinguish between a string of data and a unique named 'symbol'. I miss them wh…

For example there is an edn crate in Rust. * https://github.com/edn-format/edn * https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/edn/ * https://www.compoundtheory.com/clojure-edn-walkthrough/
