No, lack of semantics lets you choose your own semantics. Like untyped languages let you choose your own type system.

works fine until GitHub chooses it's semantics and "simple" Ember code has to decide what to do with it.

JSON is used in public APIs with general purpose clients.

Sure, that's what's hard about not having semantics.

But it's the API that doesn't specify the semantics, not JSON. They were just pretending that JSON did the job for them.

and boom goes the dynamite.

But doing it in XML wouldn't help. Number encoding issues don't go away when you pretend numbers don't exist.

at least you're honest.
