Kinda worthless rant, but I'm tired of reconsidering configuration file markup language every couple of years, and please remind me: why TOML isn't perfect?

If you already believe TOML is perfect, why do you reconsider configuration file markup languages every couple of years?

TOML/YAML:

You could read a truncated TOML file and not realize it.

On YAML, not if you enforce the usage of document end markers (e.g. an optional feature one could require if their use case demanded it). Though that's rarely a concern for configuration file formats in my opinion. If your transport (or storage) layer is that unreliable you probably don't need a human readable format in the first place.
