If you're going to drop the commas in the dictionary definitions, why not drop the colons too?

    { "key" "value" 42 37 }
It's a rhetorical question; I think removing the commas is a bad idea. Troubles while hand editing json shouldn't be an overriding use case that drives the syntax.

All of those complaints about json and nothing about how you can't have comments?? I feel like Tim Bray and I aren't even on the same planet.
