Am I the only one who simply doesn’t see the point of using TOML?<p>Even though it’s easy to find things in JSON and YAML that you could pick on, it is always pretty obvious what is being declared. It’s easy to see the hierarchy of it all: it’s one big tree of dicts, lists and scalars (disregarding some of YAML’s rarely used features, like tags and references). With TOML, that hierarchy simply becomes lost. It all feels like stuff is/can be declared in random order. Why would anyone want to back to using INI files? I remember using them on DOS and Windows and I can’t remember liking them that much.<p>Even if TOML has certain advantages over YAML/JSON, those advantages are so incredibly small if you look at the bigger picture. For JSON and YAML I can easily find parsers/generators for any language out there, even fairly exotic ones. For TOML there is a lot less choice.
