I've seen this so many more times from Microsoft than anywhere else. They even tried reinventing a regex syntax just for their IDE!

That was my point, yes, but I was replying to @[email protected]'s suggestion that "all yaml is just sparkling json".

That's a long way from all or most YAML being JSON-compatible. I wonder if more YAML files in the wild parse as Markdown than JSON.

Does your viewer/editor not show space chars or indent levels?

How do you figure?

I've never understood the frustration over magic variables. It's always sounded similar to the complaints about var declarations when people are used to explicit type declarations. Verbosity like that just reads as attenuating noise to me.
