From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

100% this. Much more readable than JSON, YAML or other custom formats.
I am surprised no one mentioned HCL yet. It's just as sane as toml but it is also properly nestable, like yaml, while being easily parsable and formattable. I wish it was used more as a config language.
