It seems to me that YAML does this better already (with parsers which are already high-quality).
If we want simplicity, then why not make sure it is a subset of YAML?
- shuzchen 14y agoI agree, and high quality YAML parsers are generally available in every language one might want to use. I don't believe I've ever encountered a situation where I was unable to obtain one. Well rust comes to mind, but then rust is really young and you could probably make one easily by just wrapping libyaml. That said, I might just write a TOML parser in python just for kicks.
- stormbrew 14y agoAgreed, I'd much rather have a normalized subset of YAML without the object serialization stuff (I don't even understand why it's there: why take a format intended to be read by humans and then muck it up with complex and dangerous object serialization notation).
