alt Hacker NewsNo but you'd have to do a lot of work to convince me it's really any better then basic YAML (yaml without going nuts with anchors and indirection).

Personally, I like configuration languages that don't let you "go nuts" in the first place.

My problem with YAML is that even when you try to keep it simple it tries its best to trip you up with some obscure feature you never wanted to deal with
The Kubernetes ecosystem has made me hate YAML so much. Maybe I am just not using the tooling correctly but anchors all over the place, templating, etc.
I have yet to see a solution to that type of thing though as every config language exists on a spectrum of syntax to full blown programing language.
