I remember a time when almost every category of tool had something named "Yet Another [Thing]" because there were already so many options to choose from when they decided to make their own.

Yeah, like YAML, which's name originally meant "Yet Another Markup Language*.

Then they redubbed it to mean "YAML Ain't Markup Language", because well, it isn't actually a markup language. 🫠
