Honestly, this was just a dumb reply, but thinking of it more than 2s, I’m a bit proud.

I present you: clap-separated values:

C 👏 S 👏 V

(sry 😆)

but if… no, when we standardize it, I’ll advocate to make the trailing 👏 mandatory.

C👏S👏V👏 just rolls better of the tongue

I really see a April 1 RFC in my future.

Toot

I see a lot of advantages compared to traditional CSV.

– 👏 is more international

– When reading data out load, the 👏 is basically out-of-band.

– Reading/presenting data is boring, saying "comma" or "semicolon" doesn’t really catch the audience while a 👏 will do that.

– It’s been a proven method on social media and in pre-school.

For folks that are temporarily or permanently unable to 👏, TSV, tongue-click-separated data, or T👅S👅V👅, will be an officially approved alternative.
