Ok I'm fed up with YAML, it just does not work for large and complex configuration files (e.g. Boulevard: imagine an array of dozens of handlers…).

So I'm playing with a new custom format. Well not so custom, it's very similar to what NGINX has. Easier to read, without deeply nested objects, designed for programs needing more than a couple keys/values.

If I go all the way I'll write a specification and a reference library. Anyone interested?
