So I just looked it up, YAML is a programming language, that is “often used for writing configuration files.” Then I checked the group this was posted on, makes a lot more since now.
The UX for knowing in which community something has been posted in is not very good here, I feel a lot of people have problems getting the context if you don’t spell it out in the title.

It’s not a programming language.
YAML is also a recursive acronym. It stands for YAML Ain’t Markup Language.
Pretty sure it’s Yet Another Markup Language
Nope.
Edit: but TBF that would have made more sense

I’ve been lied to
I’ve been fooled my whole life
No, they changed it from yet another to yaml ain’t.

It used to. Wikipedia source with sources.
Whoa — I can’t believe YAML’s 22 years old
That’s interesting!
I just had to go look that up. Yet Another just seems to make more sense, which is why I think a lot of people think that’s what it stands for.
And because that was the original name. They retconned YAML Ain’t.
Yep, just learned that!
And you can use it on GNU Not Unix!
Ah yes, lists of lists is my favorite programming language.
Sounds like Lisp.

Nope. I’ve never heard of it and I’m not a programmer so therefore it’s triple-not-funny. I’m doubling down on this hill because… just because.
You’re on ProgrammerHumor… Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you’re not a programmer?
It came up in my ALL feed. I can’t help but react if you all shove your sick lifestyle choices in my face.
Fair

Solipsism at it’s best… although… wait… Did solipsism exist before I heard of it?
Don’t bring any of that woke nonsense around here.
Woke? Never heard of it.
Goddam Solipsistic bastards. You know that’s just another kind of Communism!!!
