And lack of trailing comma's

Someone's working on a standard! https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rivest-sexp/

and no possibility of (a lack of) trailing comma's. Unless you use JSON inside Yaml, you heathens!

Depends on the data structure. If you want to save a table of sorts, you're getting a bunch of unreadable [[[]]] nonsense.

For flat structures it's great though.

That lack of trailing comma has been the bane of my existence.

People are working on making S-Expressions a standard: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rivest-sexp/

Note: This is just a draft, but improvements have been happening since 2023.

I probably won't like the parentheses, but I think I'll take it over yaml/json/whateverelse.

YAML is fine if you use a subset (don't use the advanced features - not like you know those anyway) and use explicit strings (always add " to strings), otherwise things may be cast when you did not intend values to be cast.

Example:

country: NO (Norway) will be cast to country: False, because it'll cast no (regardless from casing) to false, and yes to true.

country: "NO" should not be cast.

The prosecutor argued that the murder of Shepard was premeditated and driven by greed

McKinney's girlfriend told police that he had been motivated by anti-gay sentiment but later recanted her statement, saying that she had lied because she thought it would help him.

Price said she had lied to police about McKinney having been provoked by an unwanted sexual advance from Shepard, telling TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas, "I don't think it was a hate crime at all."[9][37] Rerucha said, "It was a murder that was once again driven by drugs."[9]

Doesn't seem to be a hatecrime. Just a crime against someone that happened to be gay.

Did you know swans can be gay?

I've read the Postgres Manual from cover to cover, and now understand SQL, but I still hate it for its weird inconsistencies. I wish ALPHA had an implementation.

I love how a compliment "He's a Jack of all Trades" was turned into an insult by adding ", a master of none", which was then turned into a compliment again by adding ", but better than a master of one".

Barely related, but in Dutch, it's called "Informatica", which is a much better name than "Computer Science". "Computer Science" is like called Astronomy "Telescope Science".
