YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that “no” is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from
into
I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)
This is definitely a failing of yaml. Though, I feel that generally it’s the sort of thing you learn once the hard way, then it sticks with you pretty well.
Also I’m glad there are more anti-toml folks are out there, feels like I’m taking crazy pills when people say it is “simple” and “elegant”. IMO it’s uglier than old-school ini format - at least it’s more strictly defined but that doesn’t really sway me to convert
Which is better for structured data?
The choice is clear
TOML isn’t elegant at all but damn, it is really simple.

Norway is false and Finland isn’t in Scandinavia
