Why are we templating YAML?
As others in this thread have said: I ask this question all the time, except s&#x2F;templating&#x2F;using&#x2F;.<p>YAML is insanely over complicated; it&#x27;s as bad or worse than XML for config files, and it doesn&#x27;t even have the nice streaming mode.
Not to mention that it&#x27;s a bit of a security nightmare (seriously, who put pointers into the YAML spec?).<p>And, on a more subjective note, YAML is just confusing: between all the significant whitespace and the random single character symbols that no one ever remembers what they do, I never get a YAML document right on the first try.<p>Templating it really does add a whole new level of headache too.
