The Yaml document from hell
I never could understand the hate XML got, but I'm having a bit of schadenfreude seeing what people suffer through with its replacements.<p>An XML document with a well-thought-out domain-specific DTD would solve all these problems; instead, we have something where <i>no</i> sometimes means <i>false</i> (but not always) and <i>22:22</i> sometimes means <i>1342</i> (but not always!)... because... why not?!?<p>All that horrible mess, it seems, because people didn't like to have to close tags.
