gollark: I think TOML is generally a nice config format.
gollark: Because it doesn't use quotes, and implicit whitespace.
gollark: There is literally a website to explain the various ways YAML does multiline strings.
gollark: The YAML spec is *gigantic*, you run into problems with its weird implicit typing stuff (I think "no", which you may need as a country code or something, is a boolean, and "034" is an octal literal), most parsers default to "wildly unsafe and insecure" for some bizarre reason, and there are far too many ways to do everything.
gollark: YAML's a bit of a terrible format, I have to agree.
