Yes, it's unfortunate that people have latched onto that xkcd comic as their preferred way to dismiss new things out of hand without expending any energy on critical thought.
We should start calling them the "927 club".

Yes sometimes its overused, but that doesn't mean its never right.
The xkcd pretty neatly summarized the situation as of now. You developed and self-promote a new standard but do not explain why anyone should care.
They don't appear to be attempting to cover all use cases (in particular, it isn't trying to be human-readable), and crucially they don't appear to be proposing it as a standard.
Linked in context with other response points and it's a worthy reference, but dropped without much further discussion and the onus feels like it remains on you to justify it.
I call him out for just re-inventing the wheel by mentioning the xkcd. He proposes a new standard in his repo. He doesn‘t explain why it‘s better (not in the repo, nor in the comment), just mentions that all others are bad.
I call him out for just re-inventing the wheel by mentioning the xkcd. And indeed, critical self-reflection is necessary when developing a standard - why is it necessary? What does it do better? Otherwise, it‘s just as in the xkcd - a standard that nobody will ever use.
And instead of explaining just that he choses to attack me.
But you‘re right, a little accompanying text wouldn‘t have hurt.
