I recognize the concern, I just don't see it as valid. I've been programming in Python for twenty years now. I won't say it's always the case, but in a large number of cases, the terseness you gain in your code more than offsets things like code completion, static analysis, etc. And yes, I specifically intend this to apply to XML. I can't see how moving to a YAML model would be anything but a win for maven. Just to let you know I'm not firmly entrenched in one camp, the static analysis that Scala supplies seems to me to overcome the inherit "benefits" of dynamic analysis.
