readers,

today I was pointed out an interesting
project from the world of, uhm, serialization-
cum-indention? ok, seriously, this is a project
to define a human-readable (and -writeable) data 
format that tries to closely follow established
standards in data exchange and in scripting languages.

on first look, it looks a little bit perlish, but,
then, not very so; its use of significant indention
makes it in the end rather pythonesque. pls. have a
look at it, it's relevant:

cheers,

ps. i am not quite sure, is it perlish or perlesque,
or does that depend on context and attitude?
