I still think Crockford did the #JavaScript world the biggest disfavour by going "comments don't belong in JSON".

Like, do comments belong in any data interchange format? No, of course not.

And is JSON a data interchange format? Sure.

But is JSON only a data transport format? Just like literally every text based data interchange format : No, of course not. This was already obvious from day one.

And so the only option is to add not-trivially-ignored data into JSON to get that text in.
