Often find myself getting frustrated editing yaml, and it seems to be used everywhere for some reason I cannot fathom
I have an idea to write an editor plugin that will, when opening a yaml file, convert it to json (or some other less painful configuration language), then convert back on save. I don’t know enough about yaml syntax to know if that’s possible or if there’s some quirk that makes them not completely cross compatible
Or alternatively if it exists a better CLI tool for editing yaml than just a normal text editor because I’m getting sick of pasting in a block of yaml and then having to fix the 8 indentation errors that somehow spawn from that
Can usually tell when it’s obviously bullshitting me and verify it if it’s not. You can often get it to correct itself if you call it out
(This was the first time I’ve seen it incorrectly “corrected” itsself)
I think I did a quick search but it seemed so strange to me I just wrote it off straight away
