I imagine it’s like storing JVM bytecode, ie class files instead of Java files. So when you open it up the editor decompiles it , like IntelliJ does if you try to open a class file, but then it also applies your own style, like from .editorconfig, on the code it shows. It’s a really good idea and I can’t believe people here are complaining that it’s bad because they can’t use grep! But that’s a good thing!! Who the hell is grepping code as if code had no structure and that’s the best you can do? So you also grep JSON instead of using jq? Just don’t!
