YAML used from withing statically typed language gets rid of most of the problem, but the main one seems to be "well, we figured out which stuff was just a bad idea and put it in 1.2, except nobody uses it"

> Both have their place though. YAML came out of perl, and both are some confluence between awesome and horriffic (although yaml wins the horrific crown for sure).

Weirdly enough I'm not getting most of those issues in Perl YAML, "norway problem" for example

    use Data::Dumper;
    use YAML;
    
    my $a ="---
    geoblock_regions:
      - dk
      - fi
      - is
      - no
      - se
    ";
    print Dumper(Load($a));

    $VAR1 = {
              'geoblock_regions' => [
                                      'dk',
                                      'fi',
                                      'is',
                                      'no',
                                      'se'
                                    ]
            };
