YAML is a popular "human-readable data serialization format", its popularity is especially evident in the Ruby community. As such it would be a great addition to Nimrod's standard library. This task requires you to read the [YAML specification](http://yaml.org/spec/) and to create a module which will be able to parse YAML data into an AST. Subsequently the parser can be used to create a high-level API to access the data similar to the current design of the [json](http://nimrod-lang.org/json.html) module which provides a low-level parser and a higher-level interface which builds on top of the parser. **Tasks**: * Write an efficient parser which will turn YAML data into an AST.
