So I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.

It’s not a programming language.

YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it's Yet Another Markup Language

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nope.

Edit: but TBF that would have made more sense

I’ve been lied to

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've been fooled my whole life

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No, they changed it from yet another to yaml ain't.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Wait… I thought it was “yet another markup language”

Is this another fucking Bearenstein/Mandala reality split?

Whoa — I can’t believe YAML’s 22 years old

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's interesting!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I just had to go look that up. Yet Another just seems to make more sense, which is why I think a lot of people think that's what it stands for.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

And because that was the original name. They retconned YAML Ain't.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, just learned that!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

And you can use it on GNU Not Unix!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, lists of lists is my favorite programming language.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Sounds like Lisp.

The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don't spell it out in the title.
