So I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.

It’s not a programming language.

YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language.

Pretty sure it's Yet Another Markup Language

No, they changed it from yet another to yaml ain't.

And you can use it on GNU Not Unix!

The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don't spell it out in the title.
