> Some people here still can’t believe YAML is used for not only configuration, but complex code like optimized CI pipelines. I've been using YAML for ages and I never had any issue with it. What do you think is wrong with YAML?

Turing complete YAML ends up being an app specific terrible programming language. Many of us would rather use a less terrible programming language instead.

I've been using YAML professionally for a decade and other than forgetting to wrap some values in quotes, has been an absolute non issue. Some people talk about YAML being a turing complete language, if people try to do that in your CI/CD system just fire them I'll allow helm style templating but that's about it.
