If on the other hand you are using a YAML library... I've had pretty good success using YAML compatibly across Python, Ruby, C# and Go projects. Do you have a particular issue in mind that the existing Ruby implementation doesn't address?

It's an implementation of YAML, not StrictYAML which has different semantics.

Yes, strict YAML is different than YAML. If you take a look at the github page linked in the GP, it explains the differences.
