Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Structured configuration in Go
as you can see, it is very similar to HCL, however there is less visual noise as I call it. The library developed for this is called config which is used for decoding the configuration, there is not support as of yet for encoding. With this library you will be able to configured support for environment variable expansion and support for includes. I have found that this strikes the balance I require of a configuration language, declarative, with limited visual noise, and easy for people to read. This is hardly a silver bullet, and no doubt will demonstrate it's limitations depending on what it is you're trying to configured. Nonetheless, I have found it be flexible for my use cases. You can see examples of this language in the djinn-ci/djinn repository itself in the dist directory.

7 Programming Languages Every Cloud Engineer Should Know in 2024!
Terraform HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is an essential language for cloud engineers in 2024, particularly for those involved in infrastructure as code (IaC) practices. HCL is the configuration language used by Terraform, a widely adopted tool that enables engineers to define, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure using a declarative configuration approach. Learning Terraform HCL allows cloud engineers to automate the deployment and lifecycle management of cloud resources across various service providers, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and scalability of cloud environments.

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
Reminds me of [HCL](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl), but without all the providers to deploy the config?

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
HCL: A Go implementation structured configuration language. The native syntax of HCL is inspired by libucl and nginx configurations. It is used to create a structured configuration language that is friendly to humans and machines, mainly for DevOps tools, server configurations, and resource configurations as a Terraform language.

Show HN: Togomak – declarative pipeline orchestrator based on HCL and Terraform
HCL has a JSON representation [1], internally, objects behave that way. so it should be possible to write a Jsonnet wrapper around it. Terraform can currently parse json pipelines too.

Quadlets might make me finally stop using Docker-compose – Major Hayden
>https://noyaml.com/
I'm not sure this is the criticism you think it is. Wow, so you basically have to add quotes to get strings in some ambiguous situations?
Yeah sure you could probably improve YAML by getting rid of these weird pitfalls, but that is a minor improvement. The alternative isn't something like TOML, because YAML is optimized for hierarchical configuration. It's every vendor implementing a different syntax such as Hashicorp with their HCL [0].

Avoiding DevOps tool hell
The Hashicorp corporation has made a huge impact in providing valuable tools and platforms in the cloud ecosystem. The advantage of using the tools they provide, such as Terraform, Vault, and Packer, is that they all have the same language, Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL). This means you can easily pick up any of these tools by learning HCL, which is similar to JSON. This approach can be useful when choosing tools to learn or use for a project.

Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
When the desired state is relatively simple to define and the mechanism to reach that state is not that important, writing up a declaration of what is needed and letting something/someone else deal with it is the most logical abstraction. This would be like drafting up the architectural draft for your new restaurant and paying a contracting company to actually build it, or writing HTML and letting a web browser render it, or writing a Terraform HCL file and letting the Terraform CLI tool apply it. This is called declarative programming in the software world, and has many advantages (and a few disadvantages!) for cloud infrastructure management.
What are some alternatives?
djinn - Source code for the Djinn CI platform
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
