I'm working on a fault-tolerant JSON5 parsing library in the service of a JSON5-to-JSON and JSON5-to-YAML transpiler.

My goal is to never write any more YAML ever again.
- An honorable goal 😀
- What did YAML ever do to you?
  
  I am a YAML hater. The biggest thing about YAML that keeps biting me recently is this:
  
  script: - echo "a key: a value"
  
  throws parse errors because of the colon, even though it is inside a quoted string.
  
  But there are lots of reasons to hate YAML.
  
  Honestly, an underrated one to me is I just hate significant whitespace. I don't want to use any language that supports it.
