Our TL;DR: the standard looks interesting, the developer tools need a lot of love. The whole world is using JSON/YAML these days, but developer experience for JSON Schema is lightyears behind "legacy" XSD
The ideal system, to me (speaking as the most prolific contributor to JSON Schema drafts-07 through 2020-12), would have clearly defined code generation and runtime validation features that did not get in each other's way. Keywords like "anyOf" and "not" are very useful for runtime validation but should be excluded from type definition / code generation semantics.
This would also help balance the needs of strongly typed languages vs dynamically typed languages.
The fundamental problem is that JSON Schema was designed as a constraint validation system (https://modern-json-schema.com/json-schema-is-a-constraint-s...) and it's been overloaded for type definition in ways that don't always make sense. But the JSON Schema alternatives that I've seen go too far in the other direction. There is a lot of value in being able to perform more complex runtime validation in a language-independent way.
There is a balance and clear separation of concerns needed between data definition and runtime validation, although they still should live in the same contract as there is considerable overlap. Now if I could only find someone who wants to fund the design of such a system... :-)
