Dhall: A Non-Repetitive Alternative to YAML
To me, worrying about config files seems like the ultimate exercise in bikeshedding.<p>You either need a simple list of items (eg. dependencies) or key/value pairs. Use a text file or yml or json or whatever.<p>Or you need templating, the use of functions, etc, like dhall provides. But then, why not use the language you're already using for the rest of your project, or a bash script to export some variables?<p>Might sound like I'm throwing sourness around, but I just don't see the niche for this, except inventing a new thing for the joy of it?
