    I think YAML has its fair share of design flaws, but I don’t think significant indentation is one of them. It may not be a programming language (which may be debatable), but there are plenty that use syntactic whitespace.

      It’s not debatable… You linked to a programming language that uses yaml syntax, that didn’t make yaml itself a programming language… It’s not.

      And I know there are plenty that use syntactic whitespace, and I hate that about all of them. Literally my only real frustration with python is due to the time of my life wasted debugging perfectly fine logic that fails because a few lines had incorrect indentation.
