The "no"/"norwegian" thing is emblematic of very sloppy thinking in YAML's design, and it's far from the only example.

It's possible to avoid these pitfalls - like people do with PHP - but why burden users with that in a new project when better options have been available for years?

They obviously like Rust, why not just follow their lead with TOML?



That "feature" regarding "no" hasn't even been present in the YAML spec since 2009.


Thanks for being clear about this and repeating it. I didn’t know. I think I will only use YAML 1.2 as configuration language.
