  • What Is Wrong with TOML?
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Sep 2023
    I wrote one of the Go implementations [0] when TOML was announced and have maintained it since.

    As a library implementor, I wish arrays would hold only one type at a time, but I get that could be useful for users. But as a user, I wish tables were fully defined once (more can't be added up later in the file), especially when using larger files.

    Looks like a it's struggling to install a go dependency, something prob changed since the time this project was made and now. I don't use go but someone more familiar with it can prob help you. Googling the error brought me to this it might solve your problem https://github.com/pelletier/go-toml/discussions/562
