    While that shouldn’t happen with a current-spec YAML parser, I agree even the current spec does way too much with types.

    I’ve come to love NestedText’s approach of leaving all type handling to the ingesting code.

        Would you suggest a topic or tooling to pair with it, so I can provide a good demo for working with it in a real and useful context?

          First, I have to apologize, I just meant post a link to NestText as a post in c/Python. I definitely didn’t mean to imply you should have to go write a blog post (or something) about it just for me. I swear this was just an attempt to get another person posting interesting things to c/Python. 😬

          Looking through the community projects and docs, the use cases/tooling that really stood out to me were:
