“Oh no! All of these configuration file formats are complicated. I want to make things simpler!”
(Years go by)
“…I have made things more complicated, haven’t I?”
YAML is generally good if it’s used for what it was originally designed for (relatively short data files, e.g. configuration data). Problem is, people use it for so much more. (My personal favourite pain example: i18n stuff in Ruby on Rails. YAML language files work for small apps, but when the app grows, so does the pain.)
There’s two kinds of crypto scams: Ones that actually involve crypto and ones that don’t.
Vague, possibly impossible to implement promises about proposed future functionality are an integral part of the crypto sphere!
