Reading the responses to this makes me wonder how many people have read the Mythical Man Month and not made the connection that config files are modern JCL -- the original instance of "this config file format should have been a real programming language from the start".
This is my problem with writing YAML for Home Assistant. You have to do so much code gymnastics to do the simplest things. It tries so hard not to be a programming language that it really should just be a programming language.
