I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it’s clunky to use. Can you explain why?
I used to think json was the best until I found json lines or line delimited json. Thank me later. I use it all the time. You can append until you’re blue in the face. It’s great for log files. Each line is a valid json file.
Can people stop hating on shit?
FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.
EVERYWHERE I GO there’s someone bitching about something, hate circlejerks are unbelievably popular, people just love to hate on stuff.
You’re ruining your thought patterns with all these social media negativity bullshit.
Fucking TOML users hate on fucking YAML fucking C++ users hate Rust fucking Rust users hate literally everything under the sun and are insufferable to work with
EVERYONE, fucking CHILL
Can you stop hating on haters? Thanks 😄
YAML is fine if you use a subset (don’t use the advanced features - not like you know those anyway) and use explicit strings (always add
"
to strings), otherwise things may be cast when you did not intend values to be cast.Example:
country: NO
(Norway) will be cast tocountry: False
, because it’ll castno
(regardless from casing) tofalse
, andyes
totrue
.country: "NO"
should not be cast.People are working on making S-Expressions a standard: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rivest-sexp/
Note: This is just a draft, but improvements have been happening since 2023.
I probably won’t like the parentheses, but I think I’ll take it over yaml/json/whateverelse.
That appears to not support comments. How they made that mistake after JSON is a mystery.
