gollark: What? Why is that a config file?! You should be defining routes in your code.
gollark: Yes, that is a bit weird and not ideal.
gollark: In JS many config files are just JS.
gollark: But the thing is, YAML has rules of some sort, which you have to understand in many weird edge cases, but they're too complicated to memorize or something.
gollark: English is not machine-parseable. Unlike Lojban. Lojban config file WHEN?
