> On that note, I will never understand why they chose .toml instead of just json or yaml..

Thanks this also gave another reason why they didn't use a dict for configuration https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/#python-literals

YAML is only fun when you're not tripping in the numerous landmines in the way: https://noyaml.com/

I think "easy for humans to edit" is where I mostly disagree with. To this day I have not worked with anyone that understood the .toml format.

Hey. I think I understand the .toml format. What do you want to know?

[paulddraper]

How much time have you spent towards TOML vs -- say -- YAML?

More editable than JSON and far simpler than YAML.

The Rust ecosystem also uses TOML.
