You mean YAML isn't a joke!? It's so ludicrously overcomplicated,
and so comprehensively and completely fails to achieve its stated
main goal of being "readable by humans", that I had assumed it
was an April Fool along the lines of Intercal or brainf***.

I certainly wouldn't recommend it as being suitable for, well,
anything at all.

Or were you trolling and I missed the joke? ;-)
