Is there an option for better options

I will do a new poll if you have a non-troll suggestion

I thought about this for like 10 minutes so now I have a strong opinion to propose How about open source your json w/ comments parser (also make quoting keys optional), have it use the .jsonc extension (for json config or json+comments) and make the rome config file rome.jsonc

Sounds like https://json5.org/  i actually used the extension .rjson for my syntax extensions. Advantage of TOML is that there's a mature parser in every single mainstream language.

Is that advantage relevant to rome?

OMG Seb pls make “.sebjson” or something the world needs a config format that’s almost as easy to parse as JSON but slightly more humane

Could you design a JSON++ file format so that it’s trivially convertible to JSON? Then it’s a matter of stripping the comments/quoting keys then using any JSON parser? JSON5 seems like too many extensions…
