Yep. I used to love Yaml back in the day. But two things burned me.
1. Significant whitespace in a data storage file doesn't scale. Yes, eventually someone wants to dump a giant graph of data and the library breaks.
2. Intermixed context on quoteless strings. Intermixing code and data doesn't work reliably. Every where I see it tried I see it break. If you don't want quotes on your strings, then you have to put something on your keywords. A simple @no would have stopped this and other situations.
As an aside, I find it stupid to have multiple names for true, false, and null.
