I'm just another datapoint but I like TOML way more - even in the complicated example
I can look at any TOML file and I can see exactly which incredibly nested value am I looking at.
Is my configuration file twice as large as an equivalent YAML?
Great, I'll pay 0.000001 more on R2 but I'll retain the ability to easily understand what nightmare configuration I am looking at
I agree with you the "3.14" vs 3.14 difference is not easy on some users, albeit that could be fixed in the business logic. Casting to int is not the end of the world.
I also hate indentation based anything (I hate Python with a passion - especially now when I'm forced to use it because AI people are fond of it)
