Which seems fine given TOML was designed as a stricter and more reliable INI, not a half-assed programming language. Can’t say I’m unhappy to know that when I see a toml file, it’s probably going to be pretty simple (exactly the opposite of the dread I feel when I see a yaml extension).
- paulgb 3y agoI think that’s exactly it. TOML is bad at deep hierarchies, but that’s a good thing; it prevents people from trying to model a whole damn AST in it, which is the direction that YAML seems to go.
