@dockevinleeelder.bsky.social introduced me when I was in highschool. Very thought-provoking stuff.

lol.

Values are always quoted, but it's still YAML, just an opinionated subset from a formatting perspective.

Didn't want everything to require new parsers etc.

Surely you're hallucinating all the braces now? /s

In all seriousness: I hope this can auto-complete effectively in most editors, and more accurately than indent-focused approaches 🙃

Have you seen KYAML?
bsky.app/profile/bent...
Had a small hand in this one, primarily @thock.in's work: "Introducing KYAML, a safer, less ambiguous YAML subset / encoding"

Coming to Kubernetes v1.34 in alpha later this month!

My favorite Reddit comment:
"Thanks, I hate it.

It takes all the crap I hate about JSON (explicitly requiring a bunch of brackets and quotes) and puts it back in.

It's better than JSON, and I see why this is better than YAML, but I still hate it."
