Why I YAML

I'm writing my own YAML library, because none of the existing ones allowed me to manage comments within YAML files. Apparently this is not a thing one should do, as "The YAML spec is larger than the XML and XML Namespaces specs combined" and "No one in their right mind would want to write a parser for it."

But, well, here we are. Let me explain where "here" is, the route I took, and why any of this matters.
