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.

    FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.

    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 to country: False, because it’ll cast no (regardless from casing) to false, and yes to true.

    country: "NO" should not be cast.
