I have finally released a video about my Polymorph Data Language (PDL), a more versatile, compact and fast alternative to JSON, YAML, XML, CSV etc.
The video explains what PDL is, and why I made it. Basically, it removes some annoying limitations in the other data formats, and enables you to represent certain data structures more compactly than in JSON. PDL is also quite easy to tokenize and parse, and performance is quite good.
