    I’m amazed at developers who don’t grasp that you don’t need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case…

      Yeah this isn’t even human readable even when it’s in YAML. What am I going to do? Read the floats and understand that the person looked left?

    This isn’t YAML, this is just sparkling JSON

    Maybe use a real database for that? I’m a fan of simple tools (e.g. plaintext) for simple usecases but please use appropriate tools.

    If you’re using a library to handle deserialization , the ugliness of the serial format doesn’t matter that much.

    Just call yaml.load() and forget about it.
