Toml: Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language
Hey, Tom here (creator of TOML). Fun to see TOML on HN again! Since I first wrote a (mostly) joke proposal for TOML 5 years ago, TOML has been adopted by a number of prominent projects such as Cargo, Hugo, Pipenv, and others.<p>TOML is especially well suited for projects that need a simple configuration file that maps unambiguously to a hash table. There are still some weaknesses in TOML that make it non-optimal for large, complex config, but I'm hoping to address that in a later version of the spec (perhaps 2.0).<p>Happy to answer any questions you all have about TOML!
