- Draiken 3y agoInteresting comment. I agree with pretty much all of it. Although in fairness, I never claimed YAML was good in any way, shape or form. My comment was always about the pointlessness of it all. Either we get projects to not use YAML or we're yelling at the void. Given how passionate you are about this though, I am curious what would you suggest instead of YAML?
- throwaway2037 3y agoI agree. That post about all of the pitfalls of YAML was very well written. My two cents: The best config format that I have used is JSON with C & C++-style comments allowed. Sure, dates and numbers (int vs float) are still a bit wobbly, but it is good enough for 99% of my needs.
