Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.

YAML: It's Time to Move On
I like it so much I got motivated enough to start making a sublime text highlighter for it. I got a bit lost though, having never made one before.
And then I tried to use a tool called SBNF to write the grammar for the language at a high level and have it spit out Sublime Text syntax highlighting code. Didn't quite work yet unfortunately.

The yaml document from hell
As /u/astatine said, an excellent but under-recognized alternative syntax for configuration files is NestedText, where everything is a string unless the ingesting code says otherwise, and there is no escaping needed ever.

Yaml: First Class Citizen?
I don't know what traits from markdown you'd hope for, but for a relatively obscure but technically excellent format, you can check out NestedText.

A Nigthtmare called YML
I recently came to appreciate and favor an alternative format called NestedText. Like YAML, indentation is used for structure, so like YAML, you may hate it.

nt2: a CLI converter between NestedText and JSON, YAML, or TOML
I recently discovered NestedText, and really appreciate the design. To me, it hits the nail on the head where projects like strictyaml and hjson come very close.

YAML: It's Time to Move On
I'm glad to see people experimenting with alternative document/object representations, but this one might be a hard sell: based on the README[1], it only has Python, Zig and Janet implementations so far. One of the nice things about YAML (and JSON, TOML, etc.) is that they have decently mature C, C++, or Rust libraries that other languages bind to.

My two favorite things share the same love as me for YAML!

Json alternatives
NestedText was left out. Has the feel of YaML, without all the complexity and user traps.
