I hate YAML. I hope it dies a very slow and painful death.

Actually, just kill it quickly so we don't have to deal with its BS anymore.

When I was introduced to YAML in mid 2000s, we've used it for reporting, it was generated by automated tests, not read by anything. And I was like: "Wow, this looks nice and readable, unlike that XML-bullshit!"
Only a few years ago I've realized that now it's used for configs, so it's written by human and parsed by software and I was like: "WTF?!!! This is the worst idea I could think of!" 🤣

@m0xee I've been trying to get ejabberd to work for around 6 hours and I haven't gotten more than 5 or so line working in its config. I've had to resort to videos and copying stuff, because the whitespace dictatorship is literally UNUSABLE.

Kill YAML with fire. It's *my* code, so I'll damn well write it *my* way.
