vibe coders have reinvented csv from first principles

i like how it’s just as annoyingly ambiguous as csv itself

@halva i mean its csv with a schema

also tells you the length instead of using delimiters for arrays which is.. a decision

@halva oh no wait its untyped and all strings 😭

@lizzie it’s one of those things where the longer you look the more cursed it becomes

@halva going to the top to increment the humber so i can add another item and then doing escape sequence nonsense to make a string with commas and then to insure my boolean doesn’t get read as a string

@halva there is comparisons with csv and supposedly llms are slightly better with this weird format, im not sure why

better question is why tf are they trying to manipulate tabular data like that with llms though

@snacks @halva yeahhhhhhhh. the main issue was that it was csv-ish at all and comparing itself to json

@lunch @halva “llms like it”
oh.

im sure the smaller size is useful too

@rose i like that there’s a way to specify where you want that arbitrary newline to be

@rose reviews[3]

the line break is after the third element

otherwise i have literally 0 clue what that [3] specifies lol

@rose oh im dumb i thought there were 4 for some reason??
