@IceWolf PHP truly is the YAML of programming languages.

@tursiae Nahhh, it's the opposite, because it doesn't try to force one specific style on you!

Everyone else hates YAML because of its weird "do what you might possibly be guessed to potentially mean" semantics. I hate YAML because it straight-up bans us from using tabs in our /own config files/. We are not the same. :3

@tursiae It's even worse than Rust's fucking "style warnings", and that's saying something!

@IceWolf I think we can all be glad it's not Go, though. Arrogant style guide, real syntax errors? Yes, compiler error. Same same.

@tursiae Seriously, Go? Sheesh.

We read an article once shitting on it for other things but it didn't talk at all about that, and now I'm /really/ glad we never tried it out.

@IceWolf I tried it out a while back.. and when it refused to compile because I'd commented out a line, and now a variable was unused.. yeah, nah. Straight to the garbage pile.

@tursiae Oh! Sheesh.

Yeah, that falls firmly in the "should be a warning, not an error" department IMO.

@IceWolf Cursed semantics? Restrictive syntax?

Both. Both is good. 😹
