Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!
My biggest gripe is that human eyes cannot in fact see invisible coding characters such as tabs and spaces. I cannot abide by python for the same reason.

You can set those things to be visible in many editors. Its ugly tho
The language should just let me specify which character I want for that. I would use “>”.
That’d be an editor thing rather than a language thing, I would have thought. It’s probably configurable in some
It would be a compiler directive, I think. Or let me type “end if” and just disregard the coding indentation
Until you’re doing an online course in a simplistic web editor. Don’t ask me how I know 🥲
it is anything but easy to read if your entire file does not fit on a single screen.
What data format is easy to read if it fills more than the entire screen?
what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?
