Why you shouldn't use YAML

[-] Damage@feddit.it 20 points 1 month ago

The best approach would be to never use yaml for anything

[-] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

YAML doesn't require any level of accuracy for floating point numbers, and that doc appears to have numbers large enough to run into problems for single-precision floats (maybe double too). That means different parsers could give you different results.
