I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it's clunky to use. Can you explain why?

Oh, thanks for calling that out. I think I may have mixed up some of the frustrations I experienced at an old job.

Maybe you're thinking of Ansible?

[-] hallettj@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, there's a good example. Ansible would make more sense if its configuration language was Nix...

But if one is already using nix, then just use nix
