Bugs in the YAML specification

I hate it when languages and formats care about whitespace beyond just whether there is some between two tokens.

Not being able to use tabs in Haskell is annoying for example. And I find having to indent stuff so it is off the page to the right to get stuff to compile unsatisfactory.

Same with YAML. I detest a format where indenting matters. It shouldn't matter.

I get that you hate Haskell, Python, and YAML. Could you explain why you are sharing this hate with everyone here? I mean, what is the point? There are lots of things I hate, but I don't revel in that hatred.
