I mean, the meme could've been ‘oh, it's JS, shoot me’

Before yaml, I used json with Ruby it was way nicer to read than xml config files ( but way before that I started using it with PHP and Actionscript)

Yeah you don’t have to be using JavaScript to use json. Yes I know it’s part of the name, but it’s just an object notation which is the other part of the name, and this has become widely accepted for use in nearly all popular languages and frameworks.
