That's true, I was thinking more about automations and scripts, which are still stored as YAML
Oh yeah, good point. It might make sense for those to remain YAML to allow for more advanced tweaks. I learned programming in Excel 97 by recording macros and then viewing and tweaking the VBA code behind them, and this feels kinda similar (although YAML isn't a programming language).
Oh wow, that must've been painful
It was a pretty decent way to get started with coding! This was back in the late 90s in Australia. I didn't have internet access or programming books, so all I could do was teach myself. Being able to record a macro and see the code behind it was extremely useful! :)
