YAML takes spaces into account, doesn't it? That's a source of

Most editors support YAML so you should get no Pythonesque bugs
since they enforce WYSIWYG. I have more issues with my
handwritten JSON than YAML.
But there is nothing wrong in constraining the format as long
as the resulting file is compatible.

I once wrote a description in YAML. Spaces (or lack of them) lead
to stupid errors. Not to mention the pain of copying and pasting
with different indentation levels. If you have to use an editor
to help you with indentation levels, there's something wrong, it
means that it's not trivially easy.
When will people understand that indentation should not be part
of a language's syntax?
