Comment on Introducing Pkl, a programming language for configuration

This is a great project and I’m surprised by the tone of the response here. I think most folks are forgetting that a lot of the folks dealing with configuration are not programmers by trade. They just need to setup a tool for their use case. To that end, the gap between the existing configuration paradigm and extending their software is insurmountable. This bridges that gap in a robust and purpose built way and that simply will improve a lot of people’s lives.

Think about homeassistant and how much less fidly it’d be to get advanced functionality or interfaces if the gap between programming and configuration were closed? There is an absolute fuckton of enterprise and scientific software that will improve in the same way.
