Summary
A detailed blog post defending YAML and examining the implicit typing controversy across YAML 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. The author analyzes spec history, mailing-list discussions, and library behavior, arguing that the problem lies in implementations and defaults rather than the spec itself, and shares personal tooling to inspect archives. The piece concludes YAML is fine if used with proper pipelines and schema choices.
