The cognitive load for yaml is infinitely lower than XML or other things that “work” better. The example give about go 1.2 vs 1.20 is a bad one. Go should have gone with 1.02 instead of 1.2. Also you can just convert that into a string. The reason why yaml is great is because I’m tired of learning “better” solutions that only fix the tiny percentage of issues that yaml has, but has a much more tremendous learning curve. XML is overengineered to the point that it’s a confusing mess. Give me yaml any day of the week.
