  • 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.
