I've got yet another markup language for your hate group's target list :)

Come join the dark side where we enjoy the wonders of binary formats such as avro and protobuf.

I actually love binary formats, especially for network communication. We probably waste tons of processing power and network bandwidth needlessly sending JSON back and forth everywhere and re-deserializing it. I'm personally a fan of MessagePack.

Though for something where you want human readability it's hard to beat TOML in my opinion.
