Hi, I'm getting this feeling this debate is winding down with the end of the weekend, but just some last two cents; I would seriously prefer anything that is not reliant on spaces, tabs or other semi-invisible characters for syntax purposes. Yes, you can set your text editor to help smooth over this, but then I end up setting up my editor differently for YAML verses what I do for code.
Also having whitespace characters used this way seems very anti-perl. I know YAML was developed by perl programmers first, but it really feels unnatural to me. Reminds me of that summer where I had to write everything in python :) Anyway I am sure this was already argued in one of the posts I failed to see. I doubt we will find something we can all agree on, but I hope we can find a good default that helps grow the community. -john --- Matt S Trout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I love YAML as a serialisation format for data > transfer, but so far as stuff > like config files that are designed for human write > / machine read, I > personally think it sucks.
