The only problem I saw with YAML is that it is overdone.

  • Who the hell would use no and yes?
  • Strings should always be quoted.
  • safeDump / safeLoad should be default, and probably dump / load should be renamed to fullDump / fullLoad, or dangerous, or just use a custom Encoder / Decoder

I saw no problem with indentation-based languages, though. That is why Markdown is popular.
