gollark: Also, possibly partly due to point 3, many (dynamic) languages actually implement YAML parsing in a way which allows arbitrary code execution by default. I think Python's yaml library does it unsafely by default (EDIT: see here: https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html though PyYaml at least appears to be changing this now).
gollark: It's not simple. The standard is extremely complex and there are something like nine ways to do multiline strings.
gollark: You might need to enable WAL mode.
gollark: It can do simultaneous reads fine as far as I know.
gollark: SQLite is surprisingly good for at least small projects which don't need to run multiple writes at once.
