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?

    It doesn’t look like it would be hard to have (comment “foo bar baz”) in an expression

    That is pretty much what the official “solution” is for comments in package.json - add "//": "foo bar baz" keys to dictionaries and NPM will ignore them.

    In practice it’s terrible. You need real comments.
