Just say no to yaml

I like yaml, easily readable by computers as well as humans (without any coding experience even). I don’t see the problem with it.

Have you ever written or tried to write a YAML parser?

It's already done, so no need.

I will forever be aware of the pain of the developers of pyaml whenever I `import yaml` from now on. And even more grateful too.

It's actually not easy for computers to read YAML. It's very difficult, especially when compared to JSON.

My computer has little problems with it!

Ok, we're being pedantic, perhaps it depends on how much information you put in a Yaml file, I usually see it used for small config files.
