There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

https://cuelang.org/. I deal with a lot of k8s at work, and I’ve grown to hate YAML for complex configuration. The extra guardrails that Cue provides are hugely helpful for large projects.

Oh this! YAML was a terrible choice. And that’s coming from someone who likes Python and prefers white spaces over brackets. YAML never clicked for me.

What you mean you can’t easily tell what this is?

- foo:
  -
  - :
    - bar:
      baz: [
        - -
      ]

Hmm, what alternative? XML :-)? People hate Grade DSL just for not being xml

Oh, this looks great!
I’ve been struggling between customize and helm. Neither seem to make k8s easier to work with.

I have to try cuelang now. Something sensible without significant whitespace that confuses editors, variables without templating.
I’ll have to see how it holds up with my projects
