I suppose there are other ways to serialize data, too." I thought about yaml. However, I want to make a parameter file for easy template. Maybe I can do a pre-transformation from ruby data to yaml, then from yaml to data. My goal is to read data from a parameter file (ruby data format) into memory, without @, $, Uppercase_name.
