Why doesn't YAML like Norway? ;)

The article discusses the removal of implicit typing in StrictYAML, an alternative YAML library available in Python. The author presents the rationale behind this decision, focusing on enhancing code safety and predictability. In earlier versions of StrictYAML, implicit typing could lead to ambiguities and errors, which were often difficult to diagnose. By eliminating this feature, developers are required to explicitly define types, which increases clarity and reduces the risk of mistakes. The ease of working with text and the clarity of data structures become critical factors in larger-scale projects. Finally, the article encourages developers to consider how explicit typing can positively impact the quality of their code and their overall efficiency.
