Yeah, that's weird.

For the most part the language seems like a smarter slightly more flexible INI which I like (although there's no real standard for INI, most formats don't allow for nested arrays or tables,) but why embrace bracket notation for arrays, but not a keyed syntax with the same brackets for tables?

Something like this would have been be a lot cleaner to me:

    [designers]
    [name = Guido, lang = Python]
    [name = Larry, lang = Perl]
