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?
Python has entered the chat.
Ugh. I learnt Java and C# as my primary language back in the day. Imagine my disgust when I took a look at python to teach my kids. Just so wrong
I’m always confused by this. Do you not indent blocks in your Java/C# code?
Blocks are started and ended with curly braces. It’s really obvious where a for loop or if statement starts and ends. You don’t have to be careful about how indented a particular line is. Horrible.
What do you mean careful? I’m not a python dev, but everything is indented just the same. I’m missing why anyone would not choose good indentation that matches the python requirements.
It grows on you over time, but it takes a long time.
