Toml is not much more than a standardization of how to represent trees with INI. INI has been in use since at least the 90's and it persists because it is easy to read and edit, and supports comments.

I actually find traefik quite nice to configure vs. the old conf disaster of apache. I've configured it by hand and also generated config by scripts with ease.

If you want to complain about a design on HN the better way is to suggest a design you think is superior.

I thought I did? https://json5.org/

Parsing json as a human is unambiguous and simple.

Parsing yaml and toml is full of ambiguity and readability problems depending on where you're reading it.

The only people who think json is a bad format are the type of people that think semicolons are the problem. They're just not.
