gollark: TOML does still allow weird stuff like, say, IP addresses, to be handled as strings.
gollark: Look at JSON.
gollark: If you don't have a consistent format for dates and whatnot, bad things happen.
gollark: If everything was UTF-8 strings and then application-parsed they would all be handled slightly differently by each library and it would be bad.
gollark: Also, probably more interoperability.
