Yaml is a sad Icarus parable. The syntax is great but the type inference is too much. I don't see why we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater and settle for toml, though.
Here's how yaml's type inference should work:
- All object keys are strings (with or without quotes)
- Value atoms are parsed the exact same way as in JSON5
I'm kinda shocked this isn't a thing. StrictYAML is cool but a bit too cumbersome IMO.
