beefbroccoli··on YAML: Probably not so great after all (2019)
I just recently replaced a bunch of YAML in a project with JSON. At face value the YAML still looks easier to grok, but I kept needing to periodically think about YAML<->JSON. At one point in the middle of yet again running JSON through a YAML conversion process to see how I would write something, it dawned on me that YAML wasn't saving making my life easier it was making it harder.

But I do NOT want diversity in how different browsers render a table.
