    No, YAML can fuck right off. I hate that this shit format is used for cloud stuff.

        since yaml is just a superset of json, you can easily avoid all problems like this

        yaml is like a less strict json for me

        OK, that’s excessively “convenient” for booleans. But I don’t get the passionate YAML hate, seems like a simple enough language for config. Didn’t have the pleasure (“pleasure”?) to work with it though, so what’s why else is it shitty?

          A property can have the wrong indentation and it would still be a syntactically correct yaml. It’s hard to distinguish whether a line is wrongly indented or not. Copy and paste a line and mistakenly use the wrong indentation, and the entire production breaks.

          In json it’s much harder to do similar mistakes.

      Since it’s a superset of JSON, couldn’t you just use the JSON notation if you hate the semantic whitespace?
