Kinda worthless rant, but I'm tired of reconsidering configuration file markup language every couple of years, and please remind me: why TOML isn't perfect?

- krapp 8y agoIf you already believe TOML is perfect, why do you reconsider configuration file markup languages every couple of years?

- cfieber 8y agoTOML/YAML: You could read a truncated TOML file and not realize it.
- SolarNet 8y agoOn YAML, not if you enforce the usage of document end markers (e.g. an optional feature one could require if their use case demanded it). Though that's rarely a concern for configuration file formats in my opinion. If your transport (or storage) layer is that unreliable you probably don't need a human readable format in the first place.
