Not only that, but YAML as configuration has some pretty significant drawbacks in that the natural (but disastrous) trend is towards using text templating systems to generate YAML files. It’s also a bit difficult to parse or write correctly.
Yes, you “shouldn’t” use text templating systems for YAML and you “should” use well-tested YAML parsers and emitters. But I am very skeptical here, especially given that this wonky format is supposed to be the interface between teams that aren’t talking to each other.
