Why do I hate TOML and love YAML? (alien.top)

I dunno why, but I have a thing against TOML. I could be reading a blog post and marvelling at the intellect of the author, but if it cuts to a code snippet of TOML I smack my teeth and question how I ended up on such an amateur site.

My opinion is not rational neither is it grounded in any technical reasoning or logic. I'd even consider myself syntactically promiscuous when it comes to pretty much any other markup language. For some reason YAML and TOML make me feel like I need to pick sides and I'm definitely a YAMLite.

I'm curious to know whether anyone else is this abnormally partisan towards YAML and TOML?

Why not just let ChatGPT handle it don't give a damn :)

ChatGPT is a great clippy replacement for spellchecking and grammar.

I just installed JupyterLab and ventured into the world of data visualization in Python, letting ChatGPT do the dirty work.

I love that it not only corrects the grammar and spelling it can fix your indentation errors in toml and yaml (or python) as well and give you an individual lesson on what you did wrong and why (if you want that.)
