In YAML (the gift that keeps on giving, see the False/Norway debacle) the last name of Null would have to be quoted, otherwise it would signify the null value.



For other curious people (or in my case, as a curious Norwegian): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36745212


Why in the world would anyone EVER want to stick user-supplied data into YAML to be interpreted?

(setting aside the very relevant question of why would anyone ever want to use YAML at all)


That's why you write yaml with a json encoder :)


I will forever curse whoever thought YAML was a good idea and spread it everywhere.


Let's all just pretend YAML is simply JSON with comments.
