Huh? I'm using YAML because that's the language used to configure GitHub Actions. You may not like YAML, and that's fine. But if we collectively had to learn the unique way each project generates their GitHub Actions config, that would be a massive waste of time.

YAML isn't that hard. Most GitHub Actions configs I see are well under 500 lines; they're not crumbling under the weight of complexity.

Assembly isn't hard either and yet almost nobody is writing it anymore, for a reason, just as nobody (to an epsilon) is writing jvm opcodes directly. Somehow the industry decided assembly is actually fine when doing workflows.

I'm saying GHA should use a proper programming language instead of assembly.
