Anyone that says yaml is readable is psychotic. It’s literally objectively not readable because a random white space character can break the entire thing and that’s by definition not readable I can’t see whether there’s a white space or not without explicitly setting that up in an editor
Only 1.1. Which everybody has been fiercely clinging onto since 2009, because YAML 1.2 did not seem to consider it a problem that they broke backwards compatibility on that behavior. So now the only way to keep existing YAML files working is for us all to keep pretending YAML 1.2 does not exist.
Go right ahead and tell me what the YAML version is and what is the type of somekey is. Oh that’s right, it’s impossible, because the versioning is entirely up to the serializers for some godforsaken reason.
I mean sure or you could just start by using a format that’s not so painfully strict with how it’s laid out. I miss the good old INI config. It couldn’t give two shits how you format it, throw in random spaces random tabs random new lines so long as the value was correct
I fucking hate YAML. Everything about it is shit. I have no idea why it exists. “Oop, my config failed because I accidentally used an extra tab” should not be a thing.
Anybody that uses any of that shit can get fucked. KDL, too. I almost used Zellij until I saw how brain-dead their config system was.

That’s what ansible-lint is for.

I hate ini. Lists stuck in ini.
