Why yet another document language?: "Because nothing out there felt quite right."
Sometimes looking at code (my code) or platforms, frameworks etc, this "does it feels right" plays big part in my decision to use/like it.
this looks interesting
I really like the /- ("slashdash") comments. Seems like they did a lot of things right! I might use this in projects.

(1 3)In my mind, copyleft licenses applied to infrastructural projects like kdl-rs prematurely limits their adoption and promotes the development of alternatives with more permissive licensing, since the spec is released under a Creative Commons license [2].

Honest question: are there document languages for ticket systems and/or process/project plans? like gant diagrams? no tex code, but real DSLs? this looks interesting
Nice doc, but I feel like it's confusing documents like XML/HTML and tree-structured data like JSON. It seems like it would be annoying to write this directly, like how do you make a word bold or italic? How do you make a class of hyperlink that's a different color (e.g. internal links vs. external)? HTML is OK but not fun to write directly -- I'm not sure that KDL is an improvement. You would still want something li…
Here's an example of how a HTML page would be presented. https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl/blob/main/examples/website.kd...
I have pretty much no interest in another markup language (or whatever we're calling these sorts of things today[1]) but I really want the slashdash comment style in every language I use now, that's an incredible idea. [1] apparently I didn't edit this in fast enough but wow I have even less interest in semantic arguments about what is and isn't a markup language.

I have no idea what people are complaining about in this thread. I find projects like this genius. I love making programming languages and I hate hate hate writing parsers, yet I enjoy experimenting with different syntax. Stuff like this is very convenient because you can just import your code as document, use path language to extract data, and schema language to apply basic checks. Not only is this thing standardize…
I want my open source project to be able to be used in commercial applications, and don't want any of my dependencies' licenses to restrict that.
