Sick of XML? Check out Simple Declarative Language (SDL)

I don't see any major advantages this has over json, yaml, or even xml... rdf isn't pretty but it has a feature that's needed for describing a lot of data: it's relational and not just tree based

It's kind of disappointing to see 3/4 of the comments here are an instance of "Have you heard of <insert related language>? Why wasn't it good enough?", one of the questions in their FAQ:

Neat. I wish there were libraries for more languages though.

I'm not sick of XML at all, because I hardly have to write it. I work with objects, and let the serializer output the XML.

I am sick of having to learn new formats though.

What's wrong with S-Expressions?
