I didn't know this bit of history. You're right, context explains a lot of the design choices made at YAML birth. Thanks for sharing.

Really great post. Code generation is seen by many as old school, but this post shows it's still well alive. We are seeing a revival of code generation with tools like jooq, Protocol Buffers, static website generator, and some Go tools

I'm a big fan of PostgreSQL, but don't you think MongoDB can be useful when you outgrow a single machine (vertical scaling is not possible anymore) and you need a sharded cluster (and you don't need joins and transactions...)

I know how to workaround the paywall by blocking or deleting the cookie :-) But I wasn't aware of this entry in HN's FAQ. I disagree, but if this is the rule on HN, then I'll follow it. Thanks for your reply.

Are we supposed to share articles behind paywalls on HN? Edit: I wasn't aware of the entry in HN's FAQ related to paywalls. See comments below.
