YAML's homepage is displayed in YAML

  Yes, but no. It's HTML (content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8) with a giant <pre> section. They could have done the same thing by styling the body with css display: block; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre;

    I said "displayed" not "made" :)

      Pedantic, I know, but I'd say "formatted as".

  It super pisses me off that Google Chrome never stepped up to support registerContentHandler, and lack of support got the feature axed. This would have been such an incredible extensibility mechanism for making a multi-format multi-media web where sites could have defined yaml viewers! https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/630 https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/630

  TIL about the anchor property (&) and the alias indicator (*) which allow you to reuse previously defined blocks without repeating yourself: definitions: steps: - step: &build-test name: Build and test script: - mvn package artifacts: - target/** pipelines: branches: develop: - step: *build-test main: - step: *build-test

    So like definitions and references in JSON schema.

    You should know about the override operator (<<:) too then. develop: - step - env: custom <<: \*build-test Sorry for formatting, on phone.
