also you can have multiple instances of yaml trees in one file, each one separated with -- . I think this makes it very confusing if used as a configuration language (they like to use yaml for configuration in kubernetes)

I mean sure but I’ve never seen any software actually use that feature in the wild except for “you’re allowed to concat your YAML files instead of separating them if you want.” Like I’ve never seen software require a certain number of documents in a file with different schemas.

i saw it being used in some CI system; it was very confusing.
