It’s pretty clear that you are putting “things that I [think I] understand above things that are better. Have you ever written an ini parser? If you have, I doubt it was good, because none of them are, because ini is a flawed format.

No, I am a Pascal guy. Turbo Pascal had an INI parser, Delphi has one, FreePascal has one, and they all work flawlessly.

From what I see, 20+ years proven parsers are available for pretty much any language there is.

And yes, the format is a bit flawed. But it gets the job done.

The Python parser has worked well for decades.
