Now that I'm out of the corporate tyranny and have my own company, I use lisp for everything. There's certain satisfaction in writing config files and persisting data directly in s-expressions. Any json requirements are triggered by exports to foreign systems.

Which Lisp, out of interest?

That JSON prohibits trailing commata makes it an absolute pain to work with in practice.

I also like how in Haskell:

   something =
     { element
     , element1
     , element2
     , element3
     }
Is an actually idiomatic way to deal with the lack of trailing commata.
