gollark: YAML has a horrendously complex and incomperehensible spec and many languages' libraries for it parse it insecurely by default.

gollark: It also doesn't support bytestrings, datetimes, non-string-keyed maps, or anything more complex than objects, arrays, strings, numbers and nulls.
gollark: That's not an actual format. Files with `.conf` extensions contain many different incompatible weird things.
gollark: I prefer TOML for configuration. YAML is really overcomplicated.
