I discovered TOML a couple of years ago when I started playing with Hugo, as it was Hugo's format of choice for configuration files.
I honestly find TOML harder to read and more complicated to use than YAML. I tried to look into it but frankly I still haven't found a use case where it made more sense to use TOML.
- alwillis 6y agoThis has been my experience as well. There's been times I wanted YAML support in a particular app; I've never wanted TOML support. If anything, it's been "ugh, I have to use TOML".
- darthrupert 6y agoInteresting how differently competent people can perceive things. To me, YAML is a cruel joke, and I carry suspicions about the competence of anyone who opts to use it out of all possible options. I think I've even grown to like XML configuration over it.
- baby 6y agoI’ve had all sorts of issues with yaml due to indentation, so I don’t use yaml anymore.
- m463 6y agoI tried config files in the .INI type syntax of python's configparser but turns out there is a lot of hidden complexity where the "default config" intersects the "user config"
