Why YAML ? :(

Hi! I found that it was the most easy language to get started with. I looked at other language such as `HCL` (the Terraform language) but I thought that it would be too complex to learn, and to get started with. I really want this project to be easy to work with.

What language did you have in mind that you'd rather use compared to YAML ?

YAML is actually tricky, especially with multiline strings and space handling.

I do find HCL to be simpler. But for things like Ansible, I'd rather have a real programming language, like PyInfra does (which I never got to try yet unfortunately).
