Other than its nice parsability, I don't see how this is simpler than ledger format, provided that you are willing to spend 15+ min to get the hang of double-entry accountings... This sort of simple records is not sufficient, even for personal finance.
Oh, I didn't see that kind of yaml syntax for NumScript. It's not Transity you're looking at ?
Sorry, it was! Numscript is better yes. It's no ledger but definitely better than transity.
