    Funny thing: TOML author/inventor calls it a mistake:

    > TOML is a bad file format. It looks good at first glance, and for really really trivial things it is probably good. But once I started using it and the configuration schema became more complex, I found the syntax ugly and hard to read.

    > I personally abandoned TOML and as such, I'm not planning on adding any new features

    pytoml Abandoned by the creator for eminently sensible reasons (interesting read too... https://github.com/avakar/pytoml/issues/15) But let's not get into an argument over whether a shiny new fashion in config formats is in fact doing anything better than the previous fashions in config management...

    If one is looking for an alternative config format, the best designed I've seen is https://github.com/gura-conf/gura
  • Use TOML for `.env` Files?

    I really like the Gura format (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). Seems to combine the best of yaml, json, and toml for the use case of human created configuration files.

    If we're on the topic of config languages, I'd like to plug Gura (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). It's not too well-known, but it probably has the best design I've seen, and seems to have a good coverage of languages with an available library.
  • Announcing Serde Gura 0.1
    2 projects | /r/rust | 1 Sep 2021
    The first version of Serde Gura is now available! Gura is a simple and readable configuration language that will be familiar to any YAML and TOML user. Its essence lies in simplicity and was introduced in detail in this post on this subreddit.
  • My first crate: a parser for the new config lang Gura
    3 projects | /r/rust | 26 Jul 2021
    Hi! I've just published a Gura parser written in pure Rust. (Repository link below!) Gura aims to offer a much simpler and more readable alternative to TOML and YAML. If you are familiar with the latter language, learning Gura is easy and intuitive.
  • Introducing Gura. A new configuration language readable as YAML, simple as TOML
    2 projects | /r/programming | 4 May 2021
    Cool! There was a mistake and a very important section in README was deleted. We have added a Rationale section where we compare Gura with other languages, as explained there, Gura is not aimed to replace JSON as it's the faster configuration file in the world! But maybe can be able to take advantage of Gura's other benefits :D
  • A Gura parser written in Python
    2 projects | /r/Python | 4 May 2021
    Gura is a new configuration language readable as YAML, simple as TOML that supports variables, importing, and has standardized errors (official site | official repo).
