Funny enough, I learned how to/started to use TOML today. I was running some [redacted] experiments using a .pyc compiled script and wanted to experiment with parameters -- but then I had to compile the script again and again.

Enter TOML: I can paste a bunch of "var_x = 2"-type statements (there's like 50) directly from Python, read them as a dictionary and find-replace all appearances in like 5 minutes while I'm waiting for an Uber.

Thanks Tom!

Awesome, sounds like the perfect use case for TOML!
