Seems like JSON syntax is pretty simple and could be a big improvement to how templates are currently invoked.
Bottom line, a well defined syntax like JavaScript is going to be more user friendly than a syntax which is only defined by the behavior of a parser with standardization at all.

In other words, I assume things like "{{fact}}" and "{{msg | foo is bar }}" will be be basically unchanged on the article side but rewritten on the implementation side in Template: space. If that is correct, it would be more useful to simply ask how large Template: space is rather than counting all the template calls.

Mixing the new language with existing wikicode? With a new language I would like to see the old language go out the door. The end of double braces.
What would you replace them with? The wikitext used by regular editors should be as simple as possible, we don't want to require PHP or Javascript to be used by anyone wanting to add an infobox to an article.
