- youerbt 3y agoI have seen this post on HN before and I wasn't received very well AFAIR. But I can't help agreeing with its main point: so much complexity to support a few basic data types that are not sufficient for anything complex anyway.
- AndyKluger 3y agoIf you haven't checked it out, NestedText is a great format that offers no handling of types beyond string/list/dict, leaving all that to the application reading in the values. No character needs escaping.
