Seriously though are you also willing to break all existing dub.json files?

OMG, every time a JSON alternative for dub ever gets brought up,
somebody claims that it's an all-or-nothing deal. NOT TRUE. THERE IS NO
BREAKING INVOLVED HERE.

There has NEVER been ANY intent by ANYONE for dub to replace JSON.
ONLY to supplement it with an additional option. Adding support for
one language does not remove support for another. There is no
"switching" languages going on, only adding.

Pardon my reaction, but this has already been reiterated over, and over,
and over, and over.

Another thing I should address before it too gets brought up yet again:
Adding support for SDL would NOT complicate tools that wish to work with
dub or force them to support two languages: The standard way to read a
dub package description is to use the output of "dub describe", not to
parse dub.json directly.
