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?

    So Poe’s Law and all that… I really hope you’re being sarcastic because having non-technical people hand edit JSON is a nightmare. It’s also quite annoying to read without a lot of extra whitespace which most editors that’d help less technical folks omit… and comments to help highlight what different things mean are hacky, hard to read, and actually read as data.

      No, I’m kind of serious, the comment situation is already solved in JSON… about the rest yeah, Yaml might be easier but the different isn’t that much. Non tech people can’t edit Yaml properly either so.
