@aborruso thanks!
Support for a subset of YAML, is doable. Full YAML I don't want to deal with -- including possible cyclic references.
I think a subset of YAML is really all that is needed, since complex/ridiculous self-referential YAMLs are likely not tabular in nature anyway, and I suspect almost all Miller users are using it to wrangle tabular-like data.
@aborruso @JensRoland thanks for the bar-lowering reassurances!! ;)
Does either of you have some examples of some YAML data you'd like to be able to process using Miller?

The first one is this https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/docs/mkdocs.yml :)

A while ago I had put Miller on my list of interesting looking tools to look into someday (nushell is on there too). As of late I'm converting a bunch of old data - college cross country results - out of tables accessed with SQL, migrating into YAML. I initially started using yq for processing of the migrated files, but found it easier to use Perl's YAML module to load it into a hash for processing.
Until I start wading into the Miller pool, I can't say I've got any example analysis I'd like to perform with Miller on the YAML in 20231028.txt , but I expect to someday come up with something. I suppose it might be nice to pluck out race results for a given runner across all files in a directory, presenting results in a table.
Hi @johnkerl , YAML is now a very popular file format. Miller already support JSON and I think that in GO there are a lot of YAML libraries.
It would be very convenient to be able to use a yaml file, as today it is already possible with a json file (I mean with the same limitations).
Thank you
