Why YAML sucks?
Why YAML sucks?
I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it's clunky to use. Can you explain why?
You're viewing a single thread.
Programmers hate everything. You could design a spec which serenades you with angel song and feeds you chocolate dipped grapes and someone would be like: This is awful, my usecase is being a dog.
Sure there aren't many things that are universally loved. I mean I can't really think of anything that doesn't have some flaw.
But that doesn't mean everything is equal! What would you rather program with, Visual Basic or Go? PHP or Typescript? If you polled people there are obvious winners.
Hey would you rather build from wood or steel?
What glue is better: 2 part epoxy or PVA?
Do you prefer soap or bleach as cleaning agent?
Would you rather build from wood or tissue paper?

Do you prefer soap or ash as a cleaning agent?
Unlike tissue paper yaml is actually fit for purpose. I actually don't know of any lang that literally can't run a program. The most you could stretch what you're saying to is that some esolangs are akin to making bricks of packed tissues to build with. They are art projects not serious submissions though.
I don't like js as much as anyone else but as evidenced by reality it works. Programmers need to stop sniffing their own farts, you have such strong opinions about the most insane shit when at most you should be talking about narrower scopes for use and trade offs.
This comment is underrated, even if it rises to the top of all comments.
Pleased to have touched your life with levity, stranger.
I write my specs in C++
