I'm not liking YAML for configuring TySug, I'm currently considering the following formats instead:

HCL -- JSON with comments
TOML -- A more sensible YAML
SAN -- HCL "improved?"

TOML

Looks a bit like INI and offers a good specification. However I find it a bit too complex for TySug's use-case.

Things I don't like:

Certain notations aren't super obvious

Things I like:

Clear documentation and specification
Distinction between arrays and tables (hashmaps)
Typed arrays (types can't be mixed)
Native support for dates (With TZ's)
Freedom of indentation (usage and tabs or spaces)
Unique keys (keys can't be repeated)
Large community adoption and seems battle-tested

HCL

Things I don't like:

Poor documentation of specification
Mixed type arrays

Things I like:

Seems nice and simple
Fair community adoption
I like the syntax

SAN

Things I don't like:

Not mature and limited test coverage
Opinionated indentation (spaces only)

Thinks I like:

Simple
