Reception

Mark Richard-San of Pitchfork wrote "Nicolai's keen sense of rhythm is the first thing you'll notice about Transform ... While Transform is a solid success on its own terms, the record lacks a certain spark that might push it into greatness. There are no moments of wonder, where you pause and listen closer, straining to understand how something so little could affect you so much. It is possible to achieve the sublime with these limited ingredients (see Ikeda, for one), but Transform is merely good.".[2]

gollark: And it's a pretty simple and readable format. Which, unlike JSON, supports comments.
gollark: I would use TOML because I like TOML
gollark: Also, speaking of the zero width character thing, if you did also want transferable-through-screenshot information too, and had control of the display of the text in question, you could probably also vary the colors of each character very slightly or overlay nearly-invisible-but-technically-there QR-code-type things.
gollark: Until you want to use highly advanced concepts like "lists of multiple items".
gollark: The spec is overcomplicated, it's insecure by default in parser libraries, and there are something like 9 ways to write multiline strings.
