I dunno why, but I have a thing against TOML. I could be reading a blog post and marvelling at the intellect of the author, but if it cuts to a code snippet of TOML I smack my teeth and question how I ended up on such an amateur site.
My opinion is not rational neither is it grounded in any technical reasoning or logic. I’d even consider myself syntactically promiscuous when it comes to pretty much any other markup language. For some reason YAML and TOML make me feel like I need to pick sides and I’m definitely a YAMLite.
I’m curious to know whether anyone else is this abnormally partisan towards YAML and TOML?

Well, I can’t stand YAML, because I had to spend half a year extending a far too complex Ansible codebase. It felt like they made a Turing-complete language out of what’s supposed to be declarative. And it feels like a good chunk of that was enabled by YAML offering an enormous amount of features itself.
So, yeah, I mostly just prefer TOML, because it’s less easily turned into a Turing-complete language.
Daddy issues?
