+1. I don't think the pathological cases of YAML syntax are of any
concern in this context. Plus it has excellent tooling support, unlike TOML.

Thank you for this! A very nice summary.

While I personally prefer YAML to any of the options on a purely syntax based

makes sense to go with TOML for it.
I expect either YAML or TOML would be acceptable, based on this. I'll
admit that I'd not heard of TOML before, but it warrants consideration
(possibly for some of my projects as well).
I've spent a fair bit of time using YAML with Ansible lately, as well
as some time looking at RAML, and don't find myself worried about the
syntax. Every oddness I've run across has been handled with an error
when the content couldn't be parsed correctly, rather than unexpected
behavior resulting from misunderstanding how it would be parsed. It's
entirely possible I just haven't run across the particular problems
Donald has run across, though.
(The embedded Jinja2 in Ansible playbooks is another matter; let's not
make that mistake.)
