No he didn't make a mistake. He added a better alternative to 
JSON, because other people demanded. SDLang is very good format I 
prefer it to all other formats for this purpose. It is more 
readable than JSON and this ***all*** that matters.
I don't even know why people complain about it. No one forces 
them to use it.
The whole argument that you shouldn't use something, just because 
it is not popular is stupid. After all why are you even on this 
forum? D is not the most popular language. Other programming 
communities invent new DSLs everyday and this doesn't stop people 
from using those languages/libaries. Just look at the ruby 
ecosystem.
