Hey, this is my brain-fart from about a year ago which was kindly dragged back into my brain through a groupchat. I now want to move this forward and would like some feedback.

Originally, this was conceived while looking for a config language for a different project. I wanted something "Open-BSD-y", type safe, and avoid the ini-hellhole that has one spec for every implementation. Thus, LYML (/ˈlʏ.məl/) was born. And soon forgotten again. (I blame the ADHD and my dog).

What I'm primarily looking for here are: — feedback — peer-review (read: let others find bugs I don't see) — people who may want to collaborate

Oh, right. No Norway problem here because strings have to be quoted..
