Why YAML sucks? - eviltoast

I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it’s clunky to use. Can you explain why?

    I think TOML should replace YAML for config files, it is much clearer, easier to parse for a human.

      Depends on the data structure. If you want to save a table of sorts, you’re getting a bunch of unreadable [[[]]] nonsense.

      For flat structures it’s great though.
