One of my favorite things about linux is slowly being destroyed. The simple, plain text configuration is one of the best things about it. However, over time more developers are switching to asinine languages to handle config files. Hyprland is switching to lua completely in the near future. Now your configuration will be filled with useless brackets, parenthesis, and comma - making it an unreadable mess. Oh and if you miss one character it'll break your whole shit.lua isn't the only culprit. Check out the scx-loader's toml configuration, where with every space you have to enclose the next characters in quotation marks for what should be a simple single line command.Shit retarded. mpv's configuration file should be the model for every program
just fork it? You don't have to do a lot to maintain software.

>>108787829>The simple, plain text configuration is one of the best things about it.that's unix: everything is a file and text is the universal interface. But Linus torvaldsonn destroyed unix cultists way back in 2001, 25 years ago by stating that linux is no more about unix https://lwn.net/2001/1206/a/no-design.php3if you want unix, use software that are embracing the unix philosophy like https://www.fvwm.org/

>>108787829isn't the whole point of window managers to troon out and tinkercode?isn't this exactly what window manager trannies want?i wouldn't know, i just use stock kde or xfce
>>108787829Sorry that happened to you, sweetie.But the real world - and modern software tries to solve its problems - has to be complex.
>>108787829bro every update hyprland config has invalid shit every single time they're taking out shit and not a single fucking example how to replace it. latest one was dwindle had to find an example in on their git issues what the fuck
>>108787829TOML is a nigger lang that sits in a bastard zone between .ini and .yamlIt lacks the pure simplicity of .ini and lacks the power and config flexibility of yaml.It forces end-users to conform to a specific syntax, yet still requires programs to validate all the config values in their code anyways.
