Should we add YAML to Geany? I'm not sure whether it is widely used and so whether it's reasonable to add yet another filetype for it.
I'm working in web-programming world, where text-based serialization formats are used widely.
And the three pillars of base text formats are: XML, JSON and YAML. The meaning and significance of last two formats are growing.
If we support XML in geany, why we do not support other two of those pillars: JSON and YAML? ;) JSON is mostly: "machine-writeable", but YAML files are very often "human-writeable" and it is important to have convenient editor for them.
And I'm sure thet geany is convenient (and should be convenient) not only for "low-level" languages and "low-level" applications, but also for scripting languages and scripting languages text-based world. For example I use geany for working with large Perl-based project with heavy usage of JSON and YAML.
So, when we should we add YAML support to Geany? ;)
Thanks for your patch. I guess Enrico will have a look onto it as soon as he is back online again. He currently got some issues with his local ISP
