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?

    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.
