Jsonnet is pretty nice but the library support isn't quite as good. There are some nice libraries for yaml that do round trip processing for example so you can modify a yaml programmatically and keep comments. Yaml certainly has some warts (and a few things that are just frankly moronic) but it deserves some credit for hitting the sweet spot in a bunch of ways.

I wonder if it will ever be practical or economical to have humans and machines driving together on the roads we have now though. Maybe we'll skip that step and go to robot-only roads with more stuff built into the actual roads.

On Musk, he doesn't need PR so much as to keep his mouth shut for a while and try and deliver on some of his BS instead of spouting more.

I think YAML was designed to machine readable. What would you do with it otherwise? Nobody's writing poetry in it (that I know of)

I assume neither of us has experienced these YAML bites that others have :).

I don't mind TOML but I don't find it either intuitive or obvious. The syntax for how nested things are flattened I just find really hard to read and write. It's fine though, not that big a deal.

I woke up in a cold sweat last night with this thought, but yes, Czech company (Russian founders I think)

I meant it feels icky to approve of anything Apple does :P.

EDIT: just to clarify, I 100% agree it's a great change, it's just that "right thing for the wrong reasons" situation. But it's a very good change and I hope it continues.

I agree, even though it feels a bit icky. I'm sure Apple have their eye on that advertising money in some way but anything that damages Facebook is highly likely to be a net positive.

I personally don't use the scripting language at all (except for configuring it or whatever). I just use it as a nicer bash interface.
