Re: EBNF for Diet YAML

Susu,

YAML is usually considered human readable and writable. Thus people like it
for config.

JSON is of course technically both of these, but less so to make it a good
config format.

INI has a shallow data model, but is good enough for most config, and less
impervious to syntax errors than YAML and JSON.

YAML is probably better for config as soon as you need much more than a
flat hash model.

That's my quick PoV.
