I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it’s clunky to use. Can you explain why?

Programmers hate everything. You could design a spec which serenades you with angel song and feeds you chocolate dipped grapes and someone would be like: This is awful, my usecase is being a dog.

Sure there aren’t many things that are universally loved. I mean I can’t really think of anything that doesn’t have some flaw.

But that doesn’t mean everything is equal! What would you rather program with, Visual Basic or Go? PHP or Typescript? If you polled people there are obvious winners.

Hey would you rather build from wood or steel?

What glue is better: 2 part epoxy or PVA?

Do you prefer soap or bleach as cleaning agent?
