YAML vs XML

Remember how everybody used to complain about "programming in XML", for instance in Spring bean definition files? Luckily we've moved beyond that and are now in the brave new world of "programming in YAML", where we can spend (waste) hours in the cloud writing Kubernetes YAML manifests, Terraform YAML templates, and so on.

  • No more syntax checks with proper schemas!
  • Go crazy fixing stupid indentation mistakes!
  • ...
Oh the joys! Sigh...
