> No offense to the creator of YAML, but: The fact that it became one of the de-facto standards for cloud tooling is an absolutely damning statement about the state of the industry.

I think the creation and take-up of yaml over something like s-expressions is an indicator that the influential practionors in the cloud industry are all young and inexperienced.

If the creators of all these cloud tools display such poor judgment, it makes the tool itself suspect.
