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.An XML document with a well-thought-out domain-specific DTD would solve all these problems; instead, we have something where no sometimes means false (but not always) and 22:22 sometimes means 1342 (but not always!)... because... why not?!?All that horrible mess, it seems, because people didn't like to have to close tags.
