Makes me wonder if a kind of meta-format for config would be useful. Like, this is the internal data structure, you provide the mapping from whatever config format you like. People would then be free to open the config in whatever format pleases them. The project maintainer might have arbitrarily picked YAML, but your editor seemlessly opens it as TOML, for example.
- arp242 3y agoNot all concepts from YAML map 1-to-1 to TOML, and vice versa, so this won't really work as it's a lossy process. Using a restricted subset of both could work, I suppose. But seems a lot of hassle over a minor issue.
