Ugh, I hate TOML. I’m -1 on any of the standards using it, but I also think the standards should be around data exchange and should just use JSON and leave front end stuff like that up to the implementations.
I had a quick glance at TOML, and I can't say I was particularly enamoured by it. I don't see that it has any particularly huge benefits over "plain" ini files (if your needs are simple) or YAML (ignoring the over-complicated stuff that nobody actually needs). +1 on JSON for "internal" format, and tools deciding for themselves on the best user-facing format. I'm also not sure I see the value of mapping directly to a dict. Surely internal formats should be isolated from the user interface, not exposed directly? Paul
