Jack/Webster/Fluent: Use YAML as the text format

YAML seems like a nice fit for a text-based format for Jack or Webster/fluent. The things that attracted me to YAML are:

  • Strings dont need to be quoted unless absolutely required. This is a huge advance over json
  • YAML has references.
it still might not be the best way to represent code as data, but its close.
