The energy has already been spent. It's already supported. 
Projects are already using it. This isn't something new.

Regarding other comments in this thread, *JSON support is not 
going away.* If you prefer to use JSON, use it. There's no 
problem here.

As for searchability, you'll find discussions in the vibe.d 
forums where people refer to it as SDLang now rather than SDL to 
avoid confusion with the game library. Type that into Google and 
you're golden. It's no different than encouraging people to 
search for DLang instead of D, so it's not a big deal.

There are plenty of us who prefer to use SDLang over JSON for our 
config files. We do not want to see support for it taken away 
when there's no need for it. It's a much cleaner format, IMO, 
popular or not. Anyone who finds SDLang somehow abhorrent can 
just use JSON and move on.
