Curious what led you to land on toml over other formats

I'm migrating from a custom JSON format that I wrote. I'd rather use something "standard". Biggest missing feature from JSON is comments and implicit top-level object. YAML is extremely complicated to parse. Is there any specific config format you prefer?

`rome.config.ts` Seemingly a weird choice, but my reasoning is that it's very nice for configuration files to be 'typed'.

Having dynamic configuration makes it extremely hard (or impossible) to derive cache keys. I don't think there's any part of the Rome configuration that would benefit from being constructed that way. You can also construct TOML configs yourself if you want.

Yeah JSON with the rome JSON parser that allows comments The only wrong answer is using a format no one in the community uses like toml or something like that

How do you feel about a binary format, a lot of people complain about the size of JSON but I think we can make really tiny config files

Argument against dotfiles: I’ve seen too many beginners copy project files between folders but missing the (hidden) dotfile and then wondering why nothing works

Yeah I hate the rc suffix too. rc stands for "run commands" which is the complete opposite of some static configuration. I've already mostly made up my mind (rome.toml) but wanted some additional validation.
