Indeed, even the meaning of the name YAML admits failure: "Yet another markup language". The year is 2023. Can we really not come up with better things for configuration? I mean, we did, 25 years ago With XML. The problem is that it was too much of a dumpster fire when it came to tooling, and folks just abused it until everyone was sick of it in the early naughts. But the fact remains, XML meets all the needs for configuration files, is flexible enough to handle large and small use-cases, and with the right tooling, can be a breeze to deal with. But no. Instead we have half-solutions like json, and worse, yaml.
