So what if it's ugly? Is this a serialization format or paintbrush?

Also, I think TOML stdlib gets to the heart of what I've been arguing. People who like syntactic whitespace like YAML. Everyone else (like C devs) don't. It makes quite a bit of sense to me that C devs don't want to touch YAML with a 10-ft pole.

It's not just aesthetically ugly — including the entire path to every item is just a lot. It's the opposite of DRY.
