I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it’s clunky to use. Can you explain why?

    Can people stop hating on shit?

    FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.

    EVERYWHERE I GO there’s someone bitching about something, hate circlejerks are unbelievably popular, people just love to hate on stuff.

    You’re ruining your thought patterns with all these social media negativity bullshit.

    Fucking TOML users hate on fucking YAML fucking C++ users hate Rust fucking Rust users hate literally everything under the sun and are insufferable to work with

    EVERYONE, fucking CHILL

      Yeah TBH I like yaml. Sure its not the best ever, but its not the worst it could possibly be.

      For config its not terrible. For ansible playbooks its again… not terrible.

      Why is everyone always hating on something which is just kinda mid.

        Config is fine, but Yamls biggest problem is people use it to describe programs. For example: playbooks. For example: CI steps.

        If YAML wasn’t abused in this way it would have a lot less hate.

          What’s wrong with using YAML for CI? I mean, I use it for Gitlab CI, the underlying script it runs is just Bash.

        I dream of a life where I use YAML but all my configs are stuck in XML. People can complain but there’s always worse options.

      No seeds no stems no stress my guy. The Internet is a great place for complaining. Readers can downvote and move on, everyone gets what they want.
