What's worng with YAML? It seems to be the best of the kind I have seen.
- Ygg2 4y agoWhat isn't wrong with YAML? But first a quiz of two YAML documents. Yaml#1 : Yaml#2 : Is any of these two docs valid. If yes, why, if not, why not. Edit: To be succinct (assuming Yaml 1.2), what is wrong with YAML are string types, weird quoting rules, attempts to be JSON, really bizzare user friendliness rules causing really bizzare edge cases, lookahead & lookbehind being essential for Yaml, very context sensitive, and complicated to the Xth degree (where X approaches infinity). Yaml feels like it can't decide whether it wants to be whitespace sensitive (human readable but not editable) or whitespace insensitive (mostly human readable and human editable).
- Ygg2 4y ago9 hours and no solution. And this is second time I post this. Goes to show how surprising YAML is, which is it's worst property.
