i'm looking at jinja-templated YAMLs with awe: how can anyone think it's a good idea? and yet, this insanity is everywhere nowadays. XML is verbose, hard to write manually and has many ways of representing the same thing, but it's actually designed compared to YAML which seems to be a hodgepodge of features, half of which need to be disabled in the safe variant.


Embedded Ruby (erb) templated yaml is nice. Not perfect, but nice.
