"I've been hearing, off in the distance, about something called JSON, that proposes to solve a problem that was neatly solved by XML-RPC in 1998, the encoding of arrays and structs in a format that could easily be processed by all programming languages. The advantage being that you could easily support the protocol in any language that supported XML and HTTP, which, at the time, was quickly becoming all languages." (ScriptingNews)

OK, Dave invented XML-RPC, RSS, podcast and a bunch of technologies that we use in this "web 2.0" generation of application.

So he is a cutting edge, visionary and scarily smart guy.

And he still misses the existance of JSON, a format that has been out for more than three years now.

Now how about us, average people that haven't invented anything that is being used by millions of people ?

Imagine of all the technologies and possibilities that we are missing right now. All the techniques and advancement that would have made our life much better in our daily working life.
