Programming languages that use white space to delimit structure are annoying at best. I get annoyed at yaml too, but I’m ok once I have a few templates set up.

Tabs suck. Use a real editor and spaces work fine.

Why tabs suck? Explain.

Tabs are neat.

Does you app have too many nested functions?

Use tab width = 2

Do your app have too less nested functions?

Use tab width = 8

Is your app having average number of nested fns?

Use tab width = 4(mostly default)

And all theese can happen without modifying a single byte in the source file, unlike spaces!

YAML comes with its own unique pains in the ass https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell

These things actually matter, come up often enough to actually be annoying, and are a bit difficult to explain and learn into people. You’re basically fine if you just string quote everything that you can, but nobody does that.

That was interesting. And possibly the most Dutch name I have ever heard of.
