YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that "no" is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

  • se
  • fi
  • no

into

  • "se"
  • "fi"
  • False

I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)
