I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it’s clunky to use. Can you explain why?

    They may be obvious to the reader but they may be impossible to see if tabs and spaces are mixed together.

    Closing tokens are always clearer.

      yes, from my other comment

      the only mistake of Python when it comes to whitespaces was allowing hard tabs

      but that’s easily fixed with an editor setting - on the other hand, unbalancing braces (and not realizing it) is too easy all the time.
