minus-squarewebbureaucrat@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoI’m working on a fault-tolerant JSON5 parsing library in the service of a JSON5-to-JSON and JSON5-to-YAML transpiler. My goal is to never write any more YAML ever again.
minus-squarewebbureaucrat@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoI am a YAML hater. The biggest thing about YAML that keeps biting me recently is this: script: - echo "a key: a value" throws parse errors because of the colon, even though it is inside a quoted string. But there are lots of reasons to hate YAML. Honestly, an underrated one to me is I just hate significant whitespace. I don’t want to use any language that supports it.
