  • ligatures are when you join two or more glyphs into a single one. For instance, instead of having the two characters = and > to form => if you had ligature support you would see ⇒. Some terminals have support to recognize sequences like => (and others obviously) and turn them into their corresponding ligatures (only for display though, the actual file contents remain umchanged)



  • JSON is a serialization format based on js syntax. It’s not the same as JavaScript, it’s usually stricter. Those stricter rules are designed to make it easier to parse. In actual js, trailing commas are just fine (although i think some versions of internet explorer parsed them as nulls for some reason.)
