I don't think it's a good idea to make config files complicate. I don't want to run a debugger to know how my configuration file works.

- krapp 6y agoUsing Lua tables alone would be anything but complicated. The syntax is almost the same as JSON. You just have to practice self-discipline and not let Turing creep take over.
- bewo001 6y agoStill beats a yaml file format that has evolved so far that is effectively describing a program and has no tooling at all.
- Jaxan 6y agoAgreed. Last thing you want is a Turing complete language for config. Imagine your config to be non terminating! (And no way to check that.)
