       @mastsec “strict yaml” was created specifically to address the criticisms here. I wonder if it really goes far enough.

       @mastsec I probably shouldn't answer, since I have really, really disliked YAML ever since I browsed the spec the first time. Too complex, too many attempts at “Do What I Mean” instead of focusing on clarity. Or, as a friend likes to point out:# ruby -e "require 'yaml'; print YAML::load \"- YES\n- NO\""[true, false]%

       @mastsec eh. any time I see these "stop using X" arguments, my counter is the same: unless "X" is literally malware, I'm not going to remove it from consideration just because it has limitations: all tools due.
