I have literally never seen yaml used as a data storage format, only as a configuration language. Ansible, Kubernetes, Home manager, netplan, and many, many other examples of yaml as a configuration language, but I cannot think of an example of yaml as a data storage format off the top of my head.
Given the:
On the README of the KDL Github, it looks like KDL has a similar goal to be a configuration langauge, rather than a data storage format.
Configuration is a type of stored data.
Configuration is data that is read and parsed on program startup.
But limiting it to configuration storage only makes it only more absurd to implement turning completeness into the language.
