YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language.
Pretty sure it's Yet Another Markup Language
Nope.
Edit: but TBF that would have made more sense
https://yaml.org/
I’ve been lied to
I've been fooled my whole life
No, they changed it from yet another to yaml ain't.
Wait… I thought it was “yet another markup language”
Is this another fucking Bearenstein/Mandala reality split?
It used to. Wikipedia source with sources.
Whoa — I can’t believe YAML’s 22 years old
That's interesting!
I just had to go look that up. Yet Another just seems to make more sense, which is why I think a lot of people think that's what it stands for.
And because that was the original name. They retconned YAML Ain't.
Yep, just learned that!
And you can use it on GNU Not Unix!
