Yeah exactly, generate json instead. I now have some GitHub Actions config in Python, and some in Nix. Nix is actually really nice for this. Like yaml it has less line noise than json and it support comments, but unlike yaml the language is extremely simple without weird corner cases to make it "easier", and it has variables and functions so you can write reusable jobs.
