YAML has multiple features that make it a better choice for pickling and serialization:
Tags. You could reliably represent/mark special objects using the tag metadata instead of praying that the original data does not have keys like "tag/id".
Object references. You could represent object cycles natively.
Non-string keys. YAML supports anything as a map key (list, dict etc).
