Funny thing: TOML author/inventor calls it a mistake: > TOML is a bad file format. It looks good at first glance, and for really really trivial things it is probably good. But once I started using it and the configuration schema became more complex, I found the syntax ugly and hard to read. > I personally abandoned TOML and as such, I'm not planning on adding any new features > If you're still reading, I'd like to put forth CSON as a format of choice. https://github.com/avakar/pytoml/issues/15#issuecomment-2177...
