yup.

TOML gets pretty close to a `.ini` file as a standardized parser, taking the original format idea a little bit further.

I hate TOML. It's even worse at expressing maps and sequences then YAML, which is actually quite good at it.
What is the issue with TOML maps and sequences compared to YAML?

My main gripe was that inline tables had to be single line, but the restriction is lifted in TOML 1.1.0.

Seeing how YAML allows for keys to be objects (and often mutable at that), I can't agree with that sentiment that YAML is good at expressing maps.
