They are alright, yaml problems are overblown, significant whitespace as well.
Whitespaces are not problem at all. But YAML values parsing rules, uh boy…
There is
pyyaml, probably other libraries, that take the pain away.…that modern systems should stop sucking at parsing leading whitespaces.
I don’t really have a solution for the whitespace issue, but you could always switch to TOML
Significant whitespace is the best! I don’t understand why so many people have issues with it.
Fussy.

Don’t worry, I’m a Java dev, and I’ll replace the whitespace in my indentations with semicolons. That should keep us sufficiently covered with semicolon usage.
Python is the jazz of programming languages. It’s about the characters you don’t type.
