Having looked over the TOML spec, I like the simplicity of it (and I cringe from the complexity of YAML). The only thing I don't like about TOML is the way it cops out on nesting. The only reason it does that as far as I can see is because of a dislike for significant indentation. But that doesn't apply to us -- we're Python folks, we're not afraid of indentation! On the contrary, for us it's the One Obvious Way to do nesting. So I'd like a format that is very similar to TOML except that you're allowed to represent nesting using indented blocks. -- Greg
