And I tried it on the Python REPL. It's Python too.

If someone wrote the following on this list:

   foo = bar(1, x, 3 * (x - 1), frob("hello world"))

.. and I said "That looks like C to me", I suspect you and a lot of 
other people would ask me what makes me think that is C and not 
something else. Like Python, for example.

My point was (I thought clearly) "What makes this exclusively JSON and 
not something else"? I even suggested that I was possibly missing 
something so as to come across as questioning and not argumentative. I 
guess that didn't work either.
