I think yaml was a perfectly fine way to express a hash/dict like config. I am surprised that toml was so widely adopted by the community.

YAML is extremely complex for a configuration format and it has many really weird edge cases:

The problem is IMHO made worse because it looks so friendly at first glance.

Fuck yaml. It is ridiculous how much junk there is in that spec.
