My vote is yes. Most configuration doesn’t need anything more sophisticated than key-value pairs, perhaps with namespaces. INI can manage that and TOML is basically a better-specified INI.



I can't tell if I've spent too much time on HN or if I came to this conclusion on my own, but TOML is my language of choice for configuration now. It's flexible in the right ways and sectioning of config is so important.


No reason to use INI over TOML. INI doesn't even have a standard specification.


That’s my point, yeah. INI is the right idea but TOML is the same thing but actually specified so use it.
