YAML:
- - "hello"
YAML expanded: -
- "hello"
JSON (typical formatting): [
[
"hello"
]
]
And EDN for good measure: [["hello"]]
I know which one I prefer :) Silly example perhaps, but once you have X lists nested in Y lists, it does become a lot easier to see why some prefer a bit more visually hierarchically stronger syntaxes
I still prefer ini files for configuration. Easier to grep and sed.
