It isn't a markup language. I'd like to correct this mistake that was started by YAML. :/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language (Using the bacronym "YAML Ain't Markup Language" only helped it grow, making more people confused as to what a Markup Language is.)

I like it, though. More grepable than JSON or YAML, with the way it handles nested keys using dot notation.



This has been fixed. [1]

Like hell it has. People know what ML means at the end of a file format.


I just wrote what it said in the README. I assume that's why he named it thus. I agree it isn't a markup language.


Yes, this was directed at the linked content, not the title. Good on ya for not being clever with the title. :)
