YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain’t Markup Language.
Comment on A lot of YAML
FlaccidJim@lemm.ee 11 months agoSo I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.

Wait… I thought it was “yet another markup language”
Is this another fucking Bearenstein/Mandala reality split?

It used to. Wikipedia source with sources.

Whoa — I can’t believe YAML’s 22 years old
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s interesting!
TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I just had to go look that up. Yet Another just seems to make more sense, which is why I think a lot of people think that’s what it stands for.

And because that was the original name. They retconned YAML Ain’t.

Ah yes, lists of lists is my favorite programming language.

Sounds like Lisp.

Nope. I’ve never heard of it and I’m not a programmer so therefore it’s triple-not-funny. I’m doubling down on this hill because… just because.

You’re on ProgrammerHumor… Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you’re not a programmer?
Lophostemon@aussie.zone 11 months ago
It came up in my ALL feed. I can’t help but react if you all shove your sick lifestyle choices in my face.
Mesa@programming.dev 11 months ago
Fair

The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don’t spell it out in the title.

It’s not a programming language.
