I loved my experience with Dhall from the PureScript community. It prompted me to learn a lot more and I built some small libraries too. My experience was mostly positive. Supporting Unicode is the cherry on top.

Of all my gripes, only two still stick in my mind: • No JavaScript implementation; I want to be able to use it more places, but I always end up having to convert it to JSON to use it • the built-in formatter is way too aggressive; I'm fond of the never-contract-only-expand formatters that don't pressure me to collapse things I don't want and the way it is isn’t to optimize Git diffs where conflicts can arise.
