I think yaml doesn't look at all like a programming language. There are
no keywords, only free text. The bash scripts you mention are defined in
terms of a multi line string but these strings can contain anything, not
just code snippets. There's no need for parenthesis or oven quotation
marks, it's very lax. It looks much more like free text than a
structured language.
